Cloud Box:Purchase CloudBox resources

Procedure

1. Go to the Resource Directory tab.

   1. Log on to the ECS console.

   2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Instances & Images > CloudBox.

   3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.

   4. Click the Resource Directory tab.

2. Select a computing SKU, specify the quantity, and then click Associate Cloud Box.

   Note

   A CloudBox requires at least one computing SKU. You can combine multiple computing SKUs. For more information, see Computing SKU specifications.

   On the Resource Directory tab, select a Business Scenario, such as compute-optimized, find the desired CloudBox SKU in the resource list, and set the Quantity.

3. In the dialog box, select the target CloudBox.

   • If you already have a CloudBox, select it from the drop-down list and click OK.

   • If you do not have a CloudBox, click Create Cloud Box. In the dialog box, configure the parameters for the CloudBox and click OK.

     Parameter	Description
     Name	Enter a custom name for the CloudBox.
     Description	The description of the CloudBox. Optional.
     Deployment site	Select an existing deployment site.
     Cloud box zone identifier	This identifier is used to generate the public cloud zone name. Each CloudBox corresponds to one zone.

   Note

   If the selected CloudBox has no compute resources, the system creates a new purchase order. If the CloudBox already has compute resources, the system creates a scale-out order.

4. Purchase additional resources such as storage and network resources, confirm the resource details, and configure payment settings.
