Before you can use the features provided by Bastionhost, you must purchase one or more bastion hosts. You can select bastion host specifications based on your business requirements. This topic describes how to purchase a bastion host.

Procedure

  1. Visit the Bastionhost buy page.
  2. On the Bastionhost buy page, specify bastion host specifications based on the following table.
    Table 1. Bastionhost Basic Edition and Bastionhost Enterprise Edition
    ParameterDescription
    Region and ZoneThe region in which you want to purchase a bastion host.
    We recommend that you select the region of the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances that you want to manage. You can log on to the ECS console to view the region where your ECS instances are deployed. If your bastion host and your ECS instances are not in the same region, the bastion host and the ECS instances cannot access each other over an internal network. In this case, you can use Cloud Enterprise Network (CEN) or the network domain feature of Bastionhost to implement cross-region access over an internal network.
    Warning You cannot change the region after the bastion host is created.
    VersionThe edition of the bastion host.
    • The Enterprise edition supports the dual-engine mode and provides enhanced stability and reliability. When your bastion host runs as normal, the two engines work at the same time. This improves O&M efficiency. If a single point of failure (SPOF) occurs, your bastion host automatically switches between the two engines. This ensures normal running of your business. The Enterprise edition supports higher specifications and provides higher performance than the Basic edition. The Enterprise edition allows you to perform efficient and stable O&M on 1,000 or more assets.
    • The Basic edition supports the single-engine mode. In this mode, you can perform common O&M and audit operations.

    For more information, see Functions and features.

    PlanThe number of server assets that the bastion host can manage.
    Extra BandwidthThe extra public bandwidth of the bastion host. When you purchase a bastion host, the public bandwidth of the bastion host is automatically configured. If the bandwidth cannot meet your business requirements, you need to configure the Extra Bandwidth parameter when you purchase a bastion host.

    Valid values: 0 to 200. Unit: Mbit/s. The value must be a multiple of 10.

    Extended Storage PlansThe storage plan that provides additional storage capacity for a bastion host. When you purchase a bastion host, a specific amount of storage space is automatically configured. If the storage space cannot meet your business requirements, you need to configure the Extended Storage Plans parameter when you purchase a bastion host.
    Resource GroupThe resource group to which the bastion host belongs.

    Resource groups are designed for enterprise users. Enterprise users can use this feature to organize and manage the resources that are owned by multiple accounts and assigned to multiple projects. For information about how to create a resource group, see Create a resource group.

    QuantityThe number of bastion hosts that you want to purchase.
    DurationThe validity period of the bastion host.
    Note You can select Auto-renewal. If auto-renewal is enabled, you will receive a renewal notification before the bastion host expires. In this case, the system automatically renews your subscription. The subscription duration of the automatically renewed bastion host is the same as the value of Duration.
    Note For more information about the billing of the Basic and Enterprise editions, see Billing.
