How Is UCS Billed?

Billing Modes

There are yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes to meet your requirements.

  • Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You pay in advance for a subscription term, and in exchange, you get a discounted rate. The longer the subscription term, the bigger the discount. Yearly/Monthly billing is a good option for long-term, stable clusters.
  • Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing. You pay as you go and just pay for what you use. UCS resource usage is calculated by the second but billed every hour. This mode allows you to flexibly adjust resource usage. You neither need to prepare for resources in advance, nor end up with excessive or insufficient preset resources. Pay-per-use billing is a good option for small-scale clusters.

Billed Items

You will be billed for clusters managed by UCS. For details, see Table 1.

  • The cluster management cost depends on the cluster type (including Huawei Cloud clusters, on-premises clusters, attached clusters, and partner cloud clusters), cluster specification (vCPUs), and required duration.
  • The cluster management cost does not include the price of any related resources (such as compute nodes and other network services).
