The global resource plan is a resource plan that uses both Alibaba Cloud points of presence (POPs) and global partner POPs to accelerate domain names. After you enable this plan, your domain name benefits from more POP resources, better coverage in regions outside the Chinese mainland, and an improved access experience.
Node distribution
The global resource plan covers more than 200 POPs worldwide. The following table describes the POP distribution.
Billable region | Node Distribution |
North America | United States, Canada, Mexico |
South America | Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru |
Europe | United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Austria, Spain, Poland, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Norway, Romania |
Asia Pacific 1 | Hong Kong (China), Taiwan (China), Japan, Singapore, Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand |
Asia Pacific 2 | South Korea, India, Vietnam, Indonesia |
Asia Pacific 3 | Australia, New Zealand |
Middle East/Africa | Israel, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, Oman, Nigeria, Bahrain, Kenya |
The billing rules remain unchanged after you enable the global resource plan.
Before you begin
This feature is available only for domain names whose acceleration region is set to Global (Excluding the Chinese Mainland).
After you enable the global resource plan, only some features are supported. For more information, see Supported features after you enable the global resource plan.
After you enable the global resource plan, you cannot directly disable it. To disable this feature, you must delete the domain name and then add it back to Alibaba Cloud CDN.
Supported features after you enable the global resource plan
POST requests are not supported.
After you enable the Global Resource Plan, your domain name can access more POPs, but the number of supported features is limited. The following table lists the features supported by the Global Resource Plan:
