    LTS (Lindorm Tunnel Service) is a data channel service developed by Alibaba Cloud for Lindorm. You can purchase LTS for services such as data import and export, change tracking, and backup and recovery for your Lindorm instances. This topic describes how to purchase and sign in to LTS.

    Prerequisites

    You have registered an Alibaba Cloud account. For the registration process, see Register an Alibaba Cloud account.

    Purchase options

    You can purchase the LTS service in two ways. The following table describes the differences between them.

    Purchase method

    Description

    Billing

    Sign-in method

    References

    Purchase a standalone LTS instance.

    Supports all LTS features.

    Billing and pricing are the same for both purchase methods.

    From an LTS instance

    Purchase the LTS service for an existing Lindorm instance from the console.

    • Supports all LTS features.

    • The search index, change tracking, and backup and recovery features of the wide table engine depend on LTS. You must purchase LTS nodes when you activate any of these features for the first time. After you purchase the nodes, you can use all LTS-supported features, such as data migration, without purchasing a separate LTS instance.

      Note

      If you purchased LTS nodes when activating one of these features, you do not need to purchase more nodes to activate the others.

    • Users of LindormTSDB, LindormDFS, and LindormSearch can purchase the LTS service from the Lindorm console. On the Instance Details page, find the LTS Engine section and click Activate Now in the Actions column.

    From a Lindorm instance

    Purchase an LTS instance

    1. Log on to the Lindorm console.

    2. On the Instances page, click Create.

      Note

      You can also go to the product details page and click Buy Now.

    3. In the Commodity Type section, select LindormTunnel channel service.

    4. Select a Payment mode. You can select Payment mode or Payment mode.

      Note

      You can convert a pay-as-you-go instance to a subscription instance, but not the other way around.

      • Subscription: This is a prepaid billing method where you pay for resources before using them. It is suitable for long-term use and more cost-effective than pay-as-you-go. The longer the subscription, the greater the discount.

      • Pay-as-you-go: This is a postpaid billing method where you are charged hourly for the resources you use. Fees are deducted from your account balance. This method is suitable for short-term use because you can release the instance at any time to save costs.

    5. Configure the parameters for the LTS instance as described in the following table.

      Parameter

      Description

      Note

      • The region cannot be changed after the LTS instance is created. Choose the region carefully.

      Note

      If your application is deployed on an ECS instance, we recommend selecting the same zone to reduce network latency.
