Billing Examples
Billing Scenario
A user purchased a pay-per-use ECS at 15:30:00 on March 18, 2023. The ECS configuration is as follows:
- Specifications: c7n.large.2 2 vCPUs | 4 GiB
- Image: CentOS 7.9 64bit
- System disk: General Purpose SSD | 40 GiB
- Data disk: General Purpose SSD | 100 GiB
- Public network bandwidth: 6 Mbit/s
After a period of time, the user found that the current ECS specifications no longer met service requirements and updated the specifications to c7.xlarge.2 (4 vCPUs, 8 GiB memory) at 09:00:00 on March 20, 2023. Since the user wanted to use the ECS long term, the user then changed the ECS to yearly/monthly billing with a one-month duration at 10:30:00 on the same day. So how much will the user be billed for this ECS in March and April?
