Billed Items
Direct Connect provides standard connections, hosted connections, and full-service connections.
- Billed items of a standard or full-service connection: port, outbound traffic, one-time setup for connecting the leased line to the port provided by Huawei Cloud, leased line, and in-building cabling.
- Billed items of a hosted connection: outbound traffic and leased line
Huawei Cloud billed items include the port, outbound traffic, and one-time setup (free for now). Non-Huawei Cloud billed items include the leased line and in-building cabling.
Outbound Traffic
Outbound traffic refers to the traffic from the cloud network to the port used in your on-premises data center.
From July 1, 2024 00:00 GMT+8:00, Huawei Cloud Direct Connect will start billing you for the outbound traffic. Each Huawei Cloud account will have 50 TB of free outbound traffic each month. This preferential policy will last until December 31, 2025 24:00 GMT+8:00. From January 1, 2026 00:00 GMT+8:00, no free outbound traffic will be provided.
Table 1 describes the pricing details.
Connection Type |
Billed Usage Period |
Formula |
Free Outbound Traffic |
---|---|---|---|
Standard connection |
A bill is generated each hour. You are billed based on the outbound traffic you use in each hour. |
Outbound traffic price = Outbound traffic unit price x Total outbound traffic of all standard connections in the current region |
If your Huawei Cloud account has connections in multiple regions, the free outbound traffic that can be used by each connection depends on the time when they were created. The connections you buy earlier enjoy the free outbound traffic first. |
Full-service connection |
Outbound traffic price = Outbound traffic unit price x Total outbound traffic of all full-service connections in the current region |
||
Hosted connection |
Outbound traffic price = Outbound traffic unit price x Total outbound traffic of all hosted connections in the current region |
The outbound traffic price varies by geographic region. For details, see Table 2.
