InfluxDB Enterprise at the extra small tier maps to the small-rf2 reference architecture on AWS in us-east-1. Compute is the largest line item in this estimate, accounting for 74% of monthly cost. High availability is not included here, so this baseline stays lean and leaves failover headroom out of the monthly total. Data Node carries the heaviest storage footprint at 1 TB on each of its 2 nodes.
