Multi-flavor Billing Description

If multiple flavors are selected for a node pool, the price of the default flavor is displayed on the console. During node pool creation or scaling, you will be billed based on the used flavors.

Billing Examples

For example, two flavors are added to a pay-per-use node pool. The price of the default flavor A (including the EVS disk price) is $0.0993 USD/hour, and the price of flavor B is $0.1923 USD/hour.

  • Creating a node pool

    When you create a node pool and set the number of nodes to 10, CCE will automatically create 10 nodes of the default flavor A. Price for using these nodes for one hour: $0.0993 USD x 10 = $0.993 USD

  • Scaling a node pool
    • When you manually scale out a node pool and add 10 nodes of flavor B, the price for using these nodes for one hour is: $0.1923 USD x 10 = $1.923 USD
    • If a node pool needs to be scaled out and 10 nodes are added, the default flavor A with the highest priority will be used by default. Price for using these nodes for one hour: $0.0993 USD x 10 = $0.993 USD

      If there are not enough resources for flavor A after creating five nodes, the remaining five nodes will use flavor B. Price for using these nodes for one hour: $0.0993 USD x 5 + $0.1923 USD x 5 = $1.458 USD

If node creation fails during node pool creation or manual scale-out due to insufficient resources of the target flavor or insufficient quota, you will be billed based on the number of nodes that were successfully created.
