Data transfer plans are easy to use and cost-effective. A data transfer plan immediately takes effect after you complete the payment. After a data transfer plan takes effect, it automatically offsets IPv4 data transfer fees that are generated by certain instances until the data transfer plan is used up or expired. Applicable instances include Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances, elastic IP addresses (EIPs), Classic Load Balancer (CLB) instances, and Internet Shared Bandwidth instances that are billed on a pay-by-data-transfer basis. Data transfer plans do not apply to IPv4 data transfer fees that are generated by EIPs of BGP (Multi-ISP) Pro.
Benefits
Cost-effectiveness
Data transfer plans can reduce the cost of resource usage in your services.
Wide service scope
Data transfer plans can be used to offset IPv4 data transfer fees that are generated by ECS instances, EIPs, CLB instances, and Internet Shared Bandwidth instances at the same time. These instances are billed on a pay-by-data-transfer basis.
Ease of use
After you purchase a data transfer plan, it automatically offsets the data transfer fees that are generated by the corresponding services in multiple regions. You do not need to configure the data transfer plan. For more information, see Purchase a data transfer plan.
Centralized management
You can easily learn the overall Internet data transfer based on the usage of data transfer plans.
