Both Cost-effective and Flexible in Use
Storage capacity units (SCUs) can be used to offset pay-as-you-go bills of a variety of cloud storage services to streamline your service purchase process.
SCUs can be used along with ECS reserved instances to make it easy to plan your budget on cloud computing resources. In addition, SCUs decouple computing resources from storage resources and allow cloud disks to be attached to or detached from instances, so that cloud resources can match your business requirements more flexibly.
Cost Optimization
Reduces your costs by up to 67% compared with equivalent pay-as-you-go storage.
Resource Reservation
Provides zone-level resource reservation capabilities to meet business continuity requirements while maintaining flexibility.
Flexibility in Use
Available for sale by region. You can choose a deductible product type and a validity period to purchase an SCU in a region. This SCU is then automatically used to offset your bills in the region.
Supported Products
SCUs can be used to offset pay-as-you-go bills of the following cloud storage services based on specific rules.
Elastic Block Storage

O&M scenarios in the blue/green deployment model
Computing and storage resources are purchased for the new version of a service when the service is being released. After the service is released, the earlier version is brought offline. The finance department is involved in this process.
Solution
The finance department is not involved in budget application and approval when you purchase storage resources, which greatly improves your efficiency of purchasing resources.
Different requirements on resources in different phases
Resource distribution varies in the R&D, testing, and deployment phases of enterprise projects.
Solution
SCUs allow you to use storage resources with differing capacities across different environments. You do not need to make extra purchase or payment, and can use resources flexibly in different phases at optimized costs.
Different requirements on resources due to different project cycles
The lifecycle of a mobile game service is typically about six months. When the daily active users (DAUs) of a mobile game service drop, some ECS instances used by the service are released and new ECS instances are purchased to run other online game services.
Solution
SCUs allow you to create and release resources for different projects based on service lifecycles while enjoying subscription discounts.
