How Do I Purchase SFS?

Updated on 2024-11-15 GMT+08:00

SFS uses pay-per-use billing by default, which means that you are billed by the storage capacity you select during purchase and the duration of use. You can also purchase a yearly or monthly package based on how much space you require and for how long you will use the resources. In case of arrears, you need to renew the service within 15 days, or data in your file systems will be cleared.

NOTE:

The size of a resource package is irrelevant to the compute throughput of the file system.

Pay-per-use

  1. Register an account.

    1. Visit the Huawei Cloud website.
    2. In the upper right corner of the page, click Register.
    3. Complete the registration as instructed.

  2. Top up your account.

    1. Log in to the management console.
    2. Click Top Up and the top-up page is displayed.
    3. Top up the account as prompted.
    4. After the top-up is complete, close the dialog box and go back to the management console homepage.

  3. Use SFS.

    1. Choose Storage > Scalable File Service to go to the SFS console.
    2. Click Create File System. You do not need to select a billing mode for an SFS Capacity-Oriented file system. Use the file system after it is created.
      NOTE:
      • The SFS Capacity-Oriented file system is billed by the used storage capacity and duration of use.
      • The SFS Turbo file system is billed by the storage capacity you select during purchase and the duration of use.

Yearly/Monthly Subscription

You can purchase a resource package of SFS Capacity-Oriented or general purpose file systems by clicking Buy Storage Package. Resource packages cannot be used across regions. Check your region before purchasing a resource package.

For an SFS Turbo file system, you can purchase a resource package when creating the file system and change the billing mode from pay-per-use to yearly/monthly.

SFS Capacity-Oriented file systems and general purpose file systems can share a resource package.

Procedure for SFS Capacity-Oriented and General Purpose File System

  1. Purchase resource packages.

    1. In the upper right corner of the SFS console, click Buy Storage Package.
    2. On the page that is displayed, set the parameters as instructed.

      You can click Product Pricing Details to view the detailed prices.

    3. Click Next.
    4. Confirm the order information and click Submit.

      If the order information is incorrect, click Previous to modify it and then continue purchasing.

    5. Pay for the order.
    6. Return to the SFS console to use SFS.

      Resource packages cannot be viewed on the SFS console. To view the resource packages, see How Do I Check the Usage of an SFS Capacity-Oriented Resource Package?.

    NOTE:

    An SFS Capacity-Oriented or a General Purpose File System resource package can be used immediately after payment. If the package capacity is greater than the used capacity of the file system, pay-per-use billing stops immediately. The capacity of the resource packages is preferentially used when you use the file systems.

    SFS Capacity-Oriented and General Purpose File System resource packages cannot be expanded, but can be purchased multiple times. For details, see Can I Purchase SFS Capacity-Oriented Resource Packages When I Still Have Valid Ones in Use?

    For example, if a user purchased a 1 TB SFS Capacity-Oriented or General Purpose File System resource package for a year and created a 500 GB SFS Capacity-Oriented file system and used all 500 GB, the used capacity of the resource package is 500 GB. For how to view the resource package usage, see How Do I Check the Usage of an SFS Capacity-Oriented Resource Package? One month later, the user creates another 600 GB SFS Capacity-Oriented file system (file system B). Now the purchased 1 TB capacity is used up, and the usage exceeding the package quota (76 GB) is billed on a pay-per-use basis. If you do not want to be billed in pay-per-use mode, you can purchase more resource packages. For details, see Yearly/Monthly Subscription.

  2. Use SFS.

    1. Choose Storage > Scalable File Service to go to the SFS console.
    2. Click Create File System. The package capacity is automatically used. You do not need to associate file systems to the resource package. If you have multiple file systems, they can share the same resource package.

Procedure for SFS Turbo

Method 1: Purchase a yearly/monthly file system. Create a file system by following the instructions in Create a File System and set the billing mode to Yearly/Monthly.

Method 2: In the Operation column of the pay-per-use file system, click Change to Yearly/Monthly to change the billing mode to yearly/monthly.
