After you create a Global Accelerator (GA) instance, you must add an acceleration area. An acceleration area is the area that requires accelerated access to your service.
Background information
If you specify Elastic IP Address (EIP) as the type of accelerated IP address, you must specify an acceleration area for a GA instance. If you specify Anycast EIP as the type of accelerated IP address, you do not need to specify an acceleration area for a GA instance. For more information about the types of accelerated IP addresses, see Accelerated IP address.
Prerequisites
- A GA instance is created. For more information, see Create and manage GA instances.
- A basic bandwidth plan is purchased and associated with the GA instance. For more information, see Purchase and manage basic bandwidth plans.
Add an acceleration area
Add an acceleration area for a standard GA instance
Add an acceleration area for a basic GA instance
You can add only one acceleration region for each basic GA instance and only accelerated IPv4 addresses are supported. By default, the bandwidth that is allocated to the acceleration region is the same as the bandwidth limit of the basic bandwidth plan that is associated with the basic GA instance.
Modify an acceleration area
You can modify the bandwidth of an acceleration area for a standard GA instance. You cannot modify the bandwidth of an acceleration area for a basic GA instance. By default, the bandwidth of the acceleration region is the same as the bandwidth limit of the associated basic bandwidth plan.
- Log on to the Global Accelerator console.
- On the Instances page, find the GA instance that you want to manage and click the instance ID.
- On the Acceleration Areas tab, click the tab of the acceleration area that you want to manage and click Edit Bandwidth.
- In the Edit Acceleration Area dialog box, modify the bandwidth value and click OK.
Delete an acceleration area
You can delete an acceleration area. After the acceleration area is deleted, GA no longer provides acceleration services for this area.
Delete an acceleration area of a standard GA instance
- Log on to the Global Accelerator console.
- On the Instances page, find the GA instance that you want to manage and click the instance ID.
- On the Acceleration Areas tab, find the acceleration area that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.
- In the Delete IP Addresses message, click OK.
Delete an acceleration area of a basic GA instance
- Log on to the Global Accelerator console.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Basic Instance.
- On the Instances page, find the GA instance that you want to manage and click the instance ID.
- On the Acceleration Areas tab, find the acceleration area that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.
- In the Delete IP Addresses message, click OK.
