Cluster specification fee

DTS dedicated clusters currently support only the 15 DU specification and use the subscription billing method.

Note
  • You only pay the resource fees for the DTS dedicated cluster. You do not need to pay extra for the DTS instances that you create in the cluster.

  • Only the 15 DU cluster specification is available. If you enable overprovisioning, you can get up to 30 DU of instance configuration resources. For example, a node that supports a maximum of 15 concurrent instances can support up to 30 instances if overprovisioning is enabled at 200%.

Data transfer cost

You are charged for data transfer if a data migration task that you configure on a DTS dedicated cluster has a target database that is a self-managed database in an IDC or a database from another cloud provider. For more information about the billing method, see Data transfer cost billing method.

Important

Data transfer costs are based on the actual amount of traffic generated. Traffic less than 1 GB is billed as 1 GB.

Storage fee

When you purchase a DTS dedicated cluster, each cluster node includes 1 TB of storage by default. If your storage usage exceeds 1 TB, the excess amount is charged. For more information about the billing method, see Storage fee billing method. You can purchase or scale out storage resources as needed.

Note

The monthly fee for storage that exceeds the default amount is calculated as follows: Unit price × Excess storage (in GB). For the unit prices of storage resources in different regions, see Storage fee billing method.
