Billing

AOM supports two editions: the basic edition and the pay-per-use edition. The pay-per-use edition includes postpaid and prepaid packages. Prepaid packages can be further divided into professional and enterprise packages. For more information, see AOM Pricing Details.

• AOM interconnects with other cloud services to provide functions such as notification, log dump, and performance management. These functions may incur extra fees, which are settled according to standard pricing of corresponding cloud services.
  • Threshold rule and alarm notification: Based on Simple Message Notification (SMN), AOM sends the changes of threshold rule status and alarms to you by emails or Short Message Service (SMS) message. In this way, you can obtain information such as resource running status in real time and take necessary measures to avoid service loss. SMN Pricing Details
  • Log dump: Based on Object Storage Service (OBS), AOM dumps log files to OBS buckets for long-term storage. OBS Pricing Details
  • Log and threshold alarm subscription: Based on Distributed Message Service (DMS) for Kafka, AOM sends log or threshold alarm data to specified DMS Kafka queues, so that you can retrieve the data from these queues. DMS for Kafka Pricing Details
  • Application Performance Management (APM): Based on APM, AOM can provide more advanced O&M capabilities. APM Pricing Details

Switching Editions

You can switch AOM between the basic edition and the pay-per-use edition.

You can purchase packages only when you use the pay-per-use edition.

• Switching from the basic edition to the pay-per-use edition

  If the basic edition does not meet your requirements, switch to the pay-per-use edition. Specifically, click Switch Editions on the Overview page of AOM. If you do not purchase any package after switching AOM to the pay-per-use edition, you will be billed on a pay-per-use basis for all the resources used. If you purchase a package and exceed the resource quota included in the package during its validity period, you will be billed on a pay-per-use basis for the excess resources used.

• Switching from the pay-per-use edition to the basic edition

  If you do not need the pay-per-use edition, click Switch Editions on the Overview page of AOM. Note that the basic edition can be rolled back only once every 24 hours. From 00:00 on the next day after AOM is switched to the basic edition, AOM deletes the resources that exceed the quota specified in the basic edition. Deleted resources cannot be recovered.

You can top up your account or manually switch AOM to the basic edition. If you manually switch AOM to the basic edition, AOM will delete the resources that exceed the quota specified in the basic edition. Deleted resources cannot be recovered.
