Abstract

This document gives the 2026 sizing and cost of Rubin data processing in operations, derived from Data Preview 2 and measured Data Release Processing resource usage on the deployed hardware. The construction-era sizing model and cost plan (last published in 2023) is retained unchanged in the appendices as a historical record, with a table-by-table account of which of its figures are superseded.
