Automatically Binding Quotas

Automatic Binding Description

After automatic quota binding is enabled, HSS automatically binds available quotas to new servers or container nodes after the agent is installed for the first time. Only the yearly/monthly quotas that you have purchased can be automatically bound. No new order or fee is generated.

• Servers: Available yearly/monthly quotas are automatically bound in the following sequence: Premium Edition > Enterprise Edition > Professional Edition > Basic Edition.
• Container nodes: Available yearly/monthly quotas are automatically bound in the following sequence: Container Edition > Premium Edition > Enterprise Edition > Professional Edition > Basic Edition.

• If the version of the agent installed on the Linux server is 3.2.10 or later or the version of the agent installed on the Windows server is 4.0.22 or later, ransomware prevention is automatically enabled with the premium, WTP, or container edition. Deploy bait files on servers and automatically isolate suspicious encryption processes (there is a low probability that processes are incorrectly isolated). You are also advised to enable backup so that you can restore data in the case of a ransomware attack to minimize losses. For details, see Enabling Ransomware Backup.
