Buying a Global Connection Bandwidth

Scenarios

This section describes how to buy a global connection bandwidth for communication over the backbone network.

Procedure

1. Go to the Create Global Connection Bandwidth page.
2. Configure the parameters based on Table 1.

   Table 1 Parameters required for buying a global connection bandwidth

   Parameter	Setting	Example Value
   Billing Mode	Mandatory Pay-per-use: a postpaid subscription. You are charged based on the usage duration of the global connection bandwidth. The usage of a global connection bandwidth is calculated by the second but billed by hour. If the usage is less than an hour, you are billed based on the actual duration.	Pay-per-use
   Bandwidth Type	Mandatory Select a bandwidth type. There are different types of global connection bandwidths that are designed for different application scenarios, including multi-city, geographic-region, and cross-geographic-region bandwidths. The type of a bandwidth cannot be changed once it is created. For details, see Global Connection Bandwidth Overview. You can decide whether to use a geographic-region bandwidth or cross-geographic-region bandwidth based on service scenarios. If you select a geographic-region, cross-geographic-region, or HomeZones bandwidth, you also need to select geographic regions and specify the regions that need to communicate with each other.	Geographic-region
   Billed By	Mandatory The price of a global connection bandwidth varies by its size. After a bandwidth is purchased, the billing starts immediately regardless of whether the bandwidth is used. If a bandwidth is no longer required, delete it in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary fees.	Bandwidth
   Bandwidth	Mandatory Select the bandwidth, in Mbit/s.	100
   Bandwidth Name	Mandatory Enter the name of the bandwidth. The name: Must contain 1 to 64 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).	bandwidth-test
   Enterprise Project	Mandatory Provides a cloud resource management mode, in which cloud resources and members are centrally managed by project.	default

   Parameter	Description
   Bandwidth Type	Mandatory There are different types of global connection bandwidths that are designed for different application scenarios, including multi-city, geographic-region, and cross-geographic-region bandwidths. The type of a bandwidth cannot be changed after it is created. If you plan to bind this bandwidth to a cloud connection, you can select a geographic-region bandwidth or cross-geographic-region bandwidth. If you select a geographic-region bandwidth or cross-geographic-region bandwidth, you also need to select geographic region(s) and specify the regions that need to communicate with each other.
   Billed By	Mandatory The price of a global connection bandwidth varies by its size. After a bandwidth is purchased, the billing starts immediately regardless of whether the bandwidth is used. If a bandwidth is no longer required, delete it in a timely manner to avoid unnecessary fees.
   Bandwidth	Mandatory Select the bandwidth, in Mbit/s.
   Bandwidth Name	Mandatory Enter the name of the bandwidth. The name: Must contain 1 to 64 characters. Can contain letters, digits, underscores (_), hyphens (-), and periods (.).
   Enterprise Project	Mandatory Provides a cloud resource management mode, in which cloud resources and members are centrally managed by project.
