Scenario Example: Checking Whether the Resource Usage Is Consistent with the Actual Resource Usage

Assume that you purchased a pay-per-use MRS cluster of the common edition at 14:38:04 on July 24, 2023 and deleted it at 15:38:04 on July 24, 2023. The cluster specifications are as follows:

  • master_node_default_group node group (master node group for short):
    • Number of nodes: 3
    • Node Specifications: c6.4xlarge.4 (16 vCPUs | 64 GB)
    • System disk: ultra-high I/O and 100 GB
    • Data disk: ultra-high I/O and 200 GB
  • core_node_analysis_group node group (Core node group for short):
    • Set Nodes to 2.
    • Node Specifications: c6.2xlarge.4 (8 vCPUs | 32 GB)
    • System disk: general-purpose SSD and 100 GB
    • Data disk: general-purpose SSD and 200 GB

Transaction Bills of MRS Common Edition Clusters

In pay-per-use billing mode, MRS clusters are billed by second. The fee is settled on the hour. Each MRS cluster node is billed separately. You can choose Billing & Costs > Bills on the top of the management console to enter the Billing Center, choose Billing > Transactions and Detailed Bills. In the Transaction Bills tab, check whether the information about each billing cycle is consistent with the actual information, as shown in Table 1.
