How Do I Change the Billing Mode of the vCPU or Memory Required by Pods from Pay-per-Use to Packages?

When a CCE Autopilot cluster is being used, the vCPUs and memory required by pods are billed on a pay-per-use basis by default. If the vCPUs and memory required for creating pods do not meet your requirements, you can purchase packages as needed to enjoy more discounts. For details, see Procedure.

When purchasing packages, note the following:

  • Packages are billed once and effective immediately upon payment. Currently, you cannot set a future effective date or unsubscribe from the packages.
  • After the packages expire, you can still use CCE Autopilot clusters. Ensure that your account balance is sufficient. The system will automatically settle the expenditures on a pay-per-use basis.
  • The validity period can be one month or one year. After the validity period expires, the remaining resources cannot be used.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the CCE console and click the cluster name to go to the Overview page. In the Autopilot Resource Package area on the right, click Buy Package.
  2. On the page that is displayed, select the required package specifications as prompted. For details about pod types, see Setting the Pod Type > Configuring a Workload > Workloads > User Guide.
  3. Confirm the specifications, click Pay Now in the lower right corner. In the displayed dialog box, click OK.
  4. On the Buy Cloud Container Engine (CCE) page, pay for the order as prompted.
