Resource Packages

Background Information

A resource package is a resource quota you buy in advance. Huawei preferentially deducts the pay-per-use resource usage from the eligible resource package.

If the resource package is used up or expires, Huawei Cloud charges the resource based on its pay-per-use price. Click Here to view the price details.

See Deduction Rules for Resource Packages for information about how your pay-per-use resource packages will be used to pay for your cloud services.

See Querying Resource Packages and Querying the Resource Usage for details about how to use APIs to query resource packages.

Viewing the List of Resource Packages

1. Go to the Resource Packages page.
2. Click the Resource Packages tab to view the list of pay-per-use resource packages.

   

   • Click a resource package name/ID to view its details.
     • Click Usage Statistics to view the deduction chart of the service.
     • Click Export Deduction Details to export the usage details.
     • Deduction mode: Resource packages can be resettable or unresettable.
       • Resettable resource package: Its capacity decreases linearly, and is cleared at the end of each reset period and restored at the beginning of the next reset period until the package expires.

         For example, if the memory of a monthly resettable Cloud Container Instance resource package is 2,920 GB*hour/month and the package is valid from 2019/07/01 00:00:00 to 2020/07/01 00:00:00, 2,920 GB*hour of memory can be deducted each month within the validity period.

       • Unresettable resource package: Its capacity decreases linearly and is deducted continuously.

         For example, if the total capacity of an unresettable Image Tagging resource package is 10,000 times and the package is valid from 2019/07/01 00:00:00 to 2020/07/01 00:00:00, 10,000 times can be deducted within the validity period.

   • The ring chart presents the total resource usage and the individual instance usage proportions in a statistical period. The detailed usage of each instance is displayed on the right.
   • A maximum of eight records can be displayed in descending order by percentage. If there are more than eight instances, the eighth record represents the sum of percentages of the eighth instance and its subsequent instances.
   • The usage percentage of each instance is rounded off to the 2nd decimal place. Due to rounding, the individual usage percentages may not always add up to 100%.
   • By default, the statistics are collected for the instance usage in the current month. You can set the statistical period as needed.
