How Do I Purchase SFS?

By default, SFS is billed in pay-per-use mode. That is, the service is billed by the storage capacity you select during purchase and the duration of use. You can purchase a yearly or monthly package based on your resource usage and duration plan. In case of arrears, you need to renew the service within 15 days. Otherwise, your file system resources will be cleaned up.

The size of a resource package is irrelevant to the computing throughput of the file system.
