Feature | Type | Description | References |
Billable items, resource plans, and trial quotas | Optimized | Starting from August 27, 2024, Function Compute uses CU usage, in CUs, as a unified billable item for the original billable items, which include the number of function invocations and resource usage. You are charged based on the unit prices of CU usage. Function Compute offers CU resource plans to offset CU usage. In addition, the original trial quotas for new users are now changed to the CU trial plan. | |
Activation of Function Compute | Optimized | Starting from August 27, 2024, Function Compute is automatically activated after you register an Alibaba Cloud account. You do not need to manually activate Function Compute before you experience Function Compute. | |
Endpoints | Optimized | Function Compute add the endpoint of the China (Ulanqab) region. | |
End-of-support of runtimes | Optimized | Function Compute ends the support for legacy runtimes based on the deprecation policy. Function Compute extends the end-of-support timeline for a number of these runtimes. | |
GPU cards types | New | Function Compute now supports GPU cards of Ada series. The fc.gpu.ada. 1 instance specification is added. |

Idle GPU billing | New | Since 00:00 on June 14, 2024, the idle GPU billing mode is supported for GPU-accelerated instances. By default, the idle mode is disabled. After the idle mode is enabled, Function Compute automatically freezes GPU resources when no requests are made to the provisioned instances. The instances enter the idle state. Idle GPUs are billed at a lower unit price, which significantly reduces costs. |

ApsaraDB for MongoDB triggers | New | You can create a data synchronization task in the Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS) console to synchronize incremental data from an ApsaraDB for MongoDB instance to a function of Function Compute in real time or at regular intervals. Then, you can write code in Function Compute to process incremental data synchronized to the function. For example, you can analyze and store the data. | |
ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL triggers | New | You can create a data synchronization task in the Alibaba Cloud Data Transmission Service (DTS) console to synchronize incremental data from a ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance to a function in Function Compute in real time or at regular intervals. Then, you can write code in Function Compute to process incremental data synchronized to the function. For example, you can analyze and store the data. |
