Can I Add a Data Package to a FlexusL Instance?

You cannot add a data package to a FlexusL instance on the FlexusL console. Instead, you can purchase a shared data package on the EIP console.

What Is a 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. For billing details, see Product Pricing Details.

A shared data package indicates shared resources in a region. For example, if you have purchased a shared data package in the CN-Hong Kong region, the package can be used by FlexusL instances and other resources in the region. If you want to use the shared data package in other regions, purchase it in those regions.

Shared data packages cannot be unsubscribed from or be modified once purchased and cannot be renewed upon expiration. Before purchasing a shared data package, learn about the usage rules and restrictions. For details, see Shared Data Package Overview.

Buying a Shared Data Package

Go to the Buy Shared Data Package page and buy dynamic BGP data packages. For details, see Buying a Shared Data Package.

Data packages of the dynamic BGP type are recommended for FlexusL instances, because only this type of data packages can deduct traffic generated by FlexusL instances.
