Billing

Billing Standards

DRS charges you for your configurations and data transfer:
Table 1 Billing standards

Item

Description

Configuration fee

Configuration fees are generated when you use computing and storage resources and process data. You are charged for the actual usage duration on an hourly basis.

Data transfer fee

Data transfer fees are generated when you process or transfer data through a public network (excluding VPN, VPC, Direct Connect, and CC networks). No matter what billing mode is used, DRS charges you for the actual public network traffic you use in GB.

For details about DRS pricing, see "Product Pricing Details".

Billing Example

The following uses full plus incremental migration of a MySQL database in a region as an example. Assume that the configuration fee is $0.35 USD/hour and the data transfer fee over a public network is $0.21 USD/GB.

  • Scenario 1: Migrating data to the cloud

    If you started the migration to the cloud at 8:00 on July 1, 2021 and ended the task at 12:00 on July 16, 2021, you will be charged $0.35 USD per hour for configuration and $0.21 USD/GB for data transfer.

  • Scenario 2: Migrating data out of the cloud

    If you started migrating 100 GB of data out of the cloud at 8:00 on July 1, 2021 and ended the migration task at 8:00 on July 3, 2021 over a public network, you will be charged $0.35 USD per hour for configuration and $0.21 USD/GB for data transfer. The configuration fee is calculated as follows: 2 days x 24 hours x $0.35 USD/hour = $16.8 USD. The data transfer fee is $21 (100 GB x $0.21 USD/GB). The total amount is $37.8 USD (16.8+21).

  • Scenario 3: Non-public network migration

    If you started migrating 100 GB of data to the cloud at 08:00 on July 1, 2021 and ended the task at 08:00 on July 3, 2021 in a VPC, you will not be charged for data transfer which is free in a private network. You only need to pay for the configuration which is $25.2 USD (3 days x 24 hours x $0.35 USD/hour).

The following uses real-time synchronization of a MySQL database in a region as an example. Assume that the configuration fee is $0.35 USD/hour and the public network data transfer fee is $0.21 USD/GB.

  • Scenario 1: Synchronizing data to the cloud

    If you started synchronizing 100 GB of data out of the cloud at 8:00 on July 1, 2021 and ended the synchronization task at 12:00 on July 5, 2021 over a public network, you will be charged for configuration at $0.35 per hour and for data transfer at $0.21 per GB for the duration of the task from start to finish. Total fees = Configuration fee + Data transfer fee = 5 days x 24 hours x $0.35 USD/hour + 100 GB x $0.21 USD/GB = $63 USD.

  • Scenario 1: Synchronizing data out of the cloud

    If you started synchronizing 100 GB of data out of the cloud at 8:00 on July 1, 2021 and ended the synchronization task at 8:00 on July 5, 2021 over a public network, you will be charged for configuration at $0.35 per hour and for data transfer at $0.21 per GB for the duration of the task from start to finish. Total fees = Configuration fee + Data transfer fee = 5 days x 24 hours x $0.35 USD/hour + 100 GB x $0.21 USD/GB = $63 USD.

Charging in Failure Scenarios

DRS charges the tasks you created from the time when the tasks are started to the time when the tasks are complete. During this period, billing will not be stopped even if the tasks fail. To avoid unnecessary charges, you can set Stop Abnormal Tasks After to a value between 14 to 100 days to automatically stop abnormal tasks. Abnormal tasks run longer than the period you set (unit: day) will automatically stop to avoid unnecessary fees.
