How Is CCE Billed?

Billing Modes

There are yearly/monthly and pay-per-use billing modes to meet your requirements. For details, see Billing Modes.

• Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode. You pay in advance for a subscription term. Before purchasing yearly/monthly resources, ensure that your account has sufficient balance.
• Pay-per-use is a postpaid billing mode. You pay as you go and just pay for what you use.

After purchasing CCE clusters or cluster resources, you can change their billing modes if the current billing mode cannot meet your service requirements. For details, see Billing Mode Changes.

Billing Items

You will be billed for clusters, nodes, and other cloud service resources. For details about the billing factors and formulas for each billed item, see Billed Items.

1. Clusters: the cost of resources used by master nodes. It varies with the cluster type (VMs or BMSs and the number of master nodes) and size (the number of worker nodes).

   For more details, see CCE Pricing Details.

2. Other cloud resources: the cost of IaaS resources in use. Such resources, which are created either manually or automatically during cluster creation, include ECSs, EVS disks, EIPs, bandwidth, and load balancers.
