When you deploy Commvault Backup & Recovery (an AMI-based product) from AWS Marketplace and choose the CloudFormation deployment type, the Commvault software deploys certain AWS billable services.

Service | Mandatory/Optional | More information
--- | --- | ---
Amazon CloudWatch | Mandatory | Amazon CloudWatch Pricing Configured CloudWatch metrics, alarms, and events are included in the free tier.
Amazon EBS | Mandatory | 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.
