Amazon EBS |

Commvault deploys multiple Amazon EBS gp3 volumes to contain the Commvault software. For costs associated with EBS block-mode storage, see Amazon EBS pricing. If EBS snapshots are configured and retained, there will be additional costs.

Commvault deploys a single all-in-one Commvault Backup & Recovery Amazon EC2 instance, which incurs ongoing runtime costs while performing data management for your AWS and AWS-adjacent workloads.
