The shared resource group for Data Integration is a type of shared resource group provided by DataWorks. The shared resource group for Data Integration is used only for debugging and is charged based on the pay-as-you-go billing method. This topic describes the billing details of the shared resource group for Data Integration.

Background information

Resources in the shared resource group for Data Integration are shared by all DataWorks tenants. During peak hours, tenants may compete for resources. In this case, nodes may not be scheduled and run in time.

To ensure that your nodes can be normally scheduled and run, you can purchase exclusive resource groups for Data Integration. For more information, see Exclusive resource groups for Data Integration.

Billable items

You are charged for the parallel threads that are used to run Data Integration node instances. These Data Integration node instances are generated and run as auto triggered instances, data backfill instances, manually triggered instances, instances in DataStudio workflows, and smoke testing instances.
Note
  • Data Integration node instances use resources in both the shared resource group for Data Integration and the shared resource group for scheduling. Both the shared resource group for Data Integration and the shared resource group for scheduling are charged based on the pay-as-you-go billing method.
  • Nodes that are run on exclusive resource groups for Data Integration are not counted in the number of nodes that are run on the shared resource group for Data Integration. For information about the billing of an exclusive resource group for Data Integration, see Billing of exclusive resource groups for Data Integration (subscription).
Note If the number of instances generated per day exceeds 120,000, the excess instances cannot be scheduled. If the number of instances generated in your business exceeds the upper limit, submit a ticket to contact the technical personnel.

Billing granularity

Billable items are charged based on the Alibaba Cloud account to which the billable items belong and the region in which the billable items reside. The billable items in each region of each Alibaba Cloud account are independently charged.

Billing cycles and prices

You are charged daily based on a six-tier pricing schedule and the total number of threads that are used to run Data Integration node instances per day. The following table describes the billing standards.

Deduction

At 00:00 every day, the billing system starts to calculate the number of instances that were successfully run on the previous calendar day and deducts the fee based only on the related billing tier that is described in the preceding table. No additional fee is deducted.

For example, you configure two data synchronization nodes Node A and Node B in your DataWorks workspace that resides in the China (Shanghai) region and use shared resources to run the nodes. If you set the number of parallel threads for Node A to 2 and schedule Node A by day, the system generates one instance every day. If you set the number of parallel threads for Node B to 5 and schedule Node B by hour, the system generates 24 instances every day.

If all instances are successfully run, you are charged based on the following calculation logic:
  1. The total number of parallel threads that are used per day is 122. The number is calculated based on the following formula: Number of parallel threads × Number of instances generated per day. In this example, two nodes are configured. Therefore, the total number of parallel threads is the sum of the number of parallel threads for Node A and that for Node B.
  2. The total number of parallel threads per day is 122, which falls within the range of 11 to 500. You are charged a daily fee of USD 0.15 based on the price that corresponds to this range.

Overdue payments

If your Alibaba Cloud account has an overdue payment, you are given a 360-hour grace period and the billing system sends you notifications at the 192nd, 288th, and 336th hours after your bill becomes overdue. After you receive a notification, you must top up your Alibaba Cloud account at the earliest opportunity.
  • If your bill is overdue for more than 360 hours, the service is suspended. As a result, instances that have not been run cannot be started. However, running instances can be retained until they are finished.
  • If you top up your Alibaba Cloud account within 360 hours after your bill becomes overdue, the service is not suspended.
