What Are the Billing Standards for IMS?

Public

Free

Private

• System disk image, ISO image, or data disk image: free

  OBS buckets are used in the background for free image storage.

• Full-ECS image: charged for the storage on CSBS or CBR

  If the image is created from a CSBS or CBR backup, you will be billed for the space used to store the CSBS or CBR backup.

Shared

• If it is a system or data disk image, the OBS storage is free.
• If it is a full-ECS image, you will be billed for the space used to store the CBR backup.
  NOTE:

  Full-ECS images created from a CBR backup can be shared but those created from a CSBS backup cannot.

Uploading an external image file to an OBS bucket

OBS storage (You are advised to delete unneeded image files.)

Creating an ECS from a system disk image or full-ECS image

EVS disks attached to the created ECS (The system disk image and full-ECS image are free of charge.)

For example, when you use a full-ECS image (with a 40 GB system disk and 100 GB data disk) to create an ECS, you will be charged based on the total capacity of the system disk and data disk.

Replication of a system or data disk image within a region

None. OBS buckets are available for free to store the image copies.

Cross-region replication of a system or data disk image

Traffic generated by OBS cross-region replication

Cross-region replication of a full-ECS image

• Traffic of CSBS or CBR cross-region replication
• Space used for storing the CSBS or CBR backup associated with the newly replicated image

Exporting images

OBS space for storing the exported images
