Change and Impact

Thank you for your long-term trust and support of Alibaba Cloud GPU Instances. To continuously enhance service stability, technical capabilities, and user experience in alignment with our product strategy evolution, we are initiating the End of Service (EOS) process for the following GPU instance families:
ecs.ga1, ecs.gn4, ecs.vgn5i, ecs.gn5t, ecs.ebmgi6s, ecs.sgn6ia, ecs.vgn6ia, ecs.sgn6i-vws, ecs.vgn6i, ecs.vgn6i-vws, ecs.sgn6i-vws

Key Milestones
●April 1, 2026: Suspension of scaling operations for existing users
●July 1, 2026: Renewals will no longer be available
●October 1, 2026: Full termination of services for the aforementioned instance families

Refund Policy
For prepaid orders, remaining fees will be refunded proportionally based on actual usage duration.

Impact Notice
Instances not migrated or terminated before October 1, 2026 will be automatically stopped, potentially causing service disruption. We strongly recommend completing migration planning and execution ahead of schedule.

Alibaba Cloud remains committed to ensuring a smooth transition. For detailed guidance, visit our migration portal or contact your dedicated support representative.

Action required

Migrating to next-generation instances delivers higher performance, superior cost-effectiveness, and sustained technical support:
●CPU-only workloads: Migrate to ECS General Purpose CPU Instances (more cost-effective)
●ga1 / vgn6i / sgn6i series: Recommended migration to sgn7i instances or Alibaba Cloud Elastic Desktop Service (EDS)
●sgn6ia / vgn6ia series: Recommended migration to Alibaba Cloud Cloud Phone
●Other GPU instances: Migrate to next-generation GPU instances such as gn6i, gn7i, gn7t, gn8is
