Purchasing a Discount Package

CloudTable also supports the monthly/yearly discount package. You can make a one-off payment according to the purchased service use duration. The service usage duration ranges from one month to one year. It is economical and recommended for long-term users. This section describes how to buy a CloudTable cluster in monthly/yearly discount package mode. After a discount package is purchased, the system does not automatically create a cluster. You need to create a cluster on the CloudTable management console.
