AWS Glue开发端点空闲时间是否计费？每日作业30分钟场景咨询

Hey Yuva, great question—this is a common point of confusion when working with Glue developer endpoints, so let’s break it down clearly:

• AWS Glue Developer Endpoints charge for the entire time they’re in a "running" state, not just when you’re actively running jobs or interacting with them. That means if you leave the endpoint started even during idle periods (like the 23.5 hours of downtime in your example), you’ll still be billed for that full duration.
• To put it plainly: If you start the endpoint, use it for 30 minutes, then leave it running for the rest of the day, you’ll get charged for the total active time (24 hours here), not just the 30 minutes of actual usage.

Cost-saving tip: #

Always remember to stop the developer endpoint when you’re done using it. You can also set up automated rules (using CloudWatch Events, for instance) to stop the endpoint after a set period of inactivity—this way you only pay for the time you’re actually leveraging the endpoint.
