You can specify a global region and a global EIP pool to assign a global EIP, and bind a global EIP to a cloud instance (such as ECS and load balancer) from any region.

Shared data package

Shared data package provides a quota for data usage. Such packages are cost-effective and easy to use. Shared data packages take effect immediately after your purchase. If you have subscribed to pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic in a region and buy a shared data package in the same region, the EIPs will use the shared data package. After the package quota is used up or the package expires, the EIPs will continue to be billed on a pay-per-use basis.

Shared data packages can be purchased yearly or monthly. Packages purchased for a year are more cost effective. You can purchase multiple shared data packages. The data package with the shortest validity period will be used first. Shared data packages cannot be unsubscribed.
