OpenSearch Pricing

OpenSearch is an open-source search and analytics suite which serves as a centralized location to manage logs forwarded from other resources, such as databases and Droplets.


Managed OpenSearch clusters begin at $19 per month for a single node cluster with 2 GiB of RAM.

Additional storage you add to the cluster costs $0.20 per GB per month, in increments of 10 GB.

Traffic to and from managed databases does not count against your bandwidth billing transfer allowance.

Machine Type

All managed databases are deployed onto Droplets. You can choose to deploy your managed database on a Droplet with a CPU that is shared with other DigitalOcean users, or deploy it on a machine with a dedicated CPU.

Learn more about shared CPU vs. dedicated CPU and the best use cases for each kind of plan in Choosing the Right Droplet Plan.

Machine Type CPU vCPUs Memory
Basic Shared 1 - 4 1 - 16 GB RAM
General Purpose Dedicated 2 - 60 8 - 240 GB RAM
Memory-Optimized Dedicated 2 - 120 16 - 960 GB RAM
