Public network traffic

An EIP is required if a GeminiDB Cassandra instance needs to access the Internet.

Billed by bandwidth, traffic, and the EIP reservation price.

  • EIP for a yearly/monthly GeminiDB Cassandra instance: billed by bandwidth.
  • EIP for a pay-per-use GeminiDB Cassandra instance: billed by bandwidth, traffic, or shared bandwidth. You are also charged for IP reservation if you do not bind the EIP to any instance.

Yearly/Monthly and pay-per-use

You can purchase a bandwidth add-on package or a shared traffic package.

Tiered pricing based on fixed bandwidth.

  • 0 Mbit/s to 5 Mbit/s (included): billed at a fixed unit price per Mbit/s.
  • Greater than 5 Mbit/s: billed at a different price per Mbit/s.

For details about the unit price, see Bandwidth Price on Product Pricing Details or Product Pricing Details.

Billing Examples

Suppose you purchased a one-month GeminiDB Cassandra instance (instance specifications: 2 vCPUs | 8 GB; nodes: 3; storage: 100 GB; backup space: 110 GB (100 GB for free)) on March 08, 2023, 15:50:04, and renewed the subscription for one more month before the initial subscription expired. That would include two usage periods:

  • March 08, 2023, 15:50:04 to April 08, 2023, 23:59:59
  • April 08, 2023, 23:59:59 to May 08, 2023, 23:59:59
    • From April 08, 2023, 23:59:59 to May 01, 2023, 23:59:59, 50 GB of free backup space was used.
    • From May 01, 2023, 23:59:59 to May 08, 2023, 23:59:59, another 10 GB of backup space was used, which was billed for 168 hours.
