Answer 2

With Kinesis Data Analytics, you pay only for what you use. You are charged an hourly-rate based on the average number of Kinesis Processing Units (or KPUs) used to run your stream processing application. We round up to the nearest whole KPU.

A single KPU is a stream processing resource comprising of memory (4 GB), compute (1 vCPU), and corresponding networking capabilities. Because your streaming application’s memory and compute consumption vary during processing, Kinesis Data Analytics automatically and elastically scales the number of KPUs based on your streaming workload. There are no resources to provision, no upfront costs or minimum fees associated with Kinesis Data Analytics.

For more information about pricing, see the Kinesis Data Analytics pricing page.
