With AWS Glue, you only pay for the time your ETL job takes to run. There are no resources to manage, no upfront costs, and you are not charged for startup or shutdown time. You are charged an hourly rate based on the number of Data Processing Units (or DPUs) used to run your ETL job. A single Data Processing Unit (DPU) provides 4 vCPU and 16 GB of memory. An AWS Glue ETL job requires a minimum of 2 DPUs. By default, AWS Glue allocates 10 DPUs to each ETL job. You are billed $0.44 per DPU-Hour in increments of 1 second, rounded up to the nearest second, with a 10-minute minimum duration for each ETL job.

Development endpoints are optional, and billing applies only if you choose to interactively develop your ETL code. Development endpoints are charged based on the Data Processing Unit hours used for the time your development endpoints are provisioned. An AWS Glue development endpoint requires a minimum of 2 DPUs. By default, AWS Glue allocates 5 DPUs to each development endpoint. You are billed $0.44 per DPU-Hour in increments of 1 second, rounded up to the nearest second, with a 10-minute minimum duration for each provisioned development endpoint.
