Billing Items (Shared Load Balancers)

Billing

• If your shared load balancers were created after February 10, 2023, guaranteed performance were enabled for them by default, and you need to pay for the load balancers. Shared load balancers created before February 10, 2023 are free of charge and guaranteed performance is not enabled for them. You can manually enable guaranteed performance by referring to Enabling Guaranteed Performance for a Shared Load Balancer. Once this feature is enabled, you will need to pay for the load balancers.

Shared load balancers are billed as described in Table 1.

For details about load balancer pricing, see ELB Pricing Details. You can use the price calculator to quickly estimate the price for the load balancers that you select.

• Shared load balancers are billed based on the billing mode you can select on the console.
• If you bind an EIP to a shared load balancer, you will also be charged for the EIP and the bandwidth used by the EIP.

  For details about EIP pricing, see Elastic IP Pricing Details.
