Billing

Cloud Connect establishes a high-speed, stable, and highly available network among VPCs in different regions. Cloud Connect can work with Direct Connect to enable your on-premises data centers to access VPCs in any region.

To enable communication between network instances in different regions, you need to purchase a bandwidth package. Network instances in the same cloud region can communicate with each other by default and do not require a bandwidth package.

Billing Item

You will be billed only for the bandwidth packages required for cross-region communication.

One cloud connection can only have one bandwidth package regardless of if the cloud connection is used for communication within a geographic region or between geographic regions.

Assume that you have created a cloud connection cc1 and purchased a 50 Mbit/s bandwidth package bandwidthPackage1 for communication within the Chinese mainland.

Note that:

  • You can bind another bandwidth package to cc1 only after you unbind bandwidthPackage1 from cc1. If you load network instances in the Asia Pacific to cc1, you need to bind one more bandwidth package to enable communication between the Chinese mainland and Asia Pacific.
  • If the inter-region bandwidths that you need exceed 50 Mbit/s, increase the bandwidth. For example, if you have assigned 30 Mbit/s for communication between CN North-Beijing4 and CN East-Shanghai1 and need to assign 40 Mbit/s between CN East-Shanghai1 and CN East-Shanghai2, increase the bandwidth of the package, to no less than 70 Mbit/s.
  • A bandwidth package can only be bound to one cloud connection. To change the cloud connection bound to a bandwidth package, unbind the bandwidth package from the cloud connection and bind it to another cloud connection.
