Object Storage Service (OSS) provides the data indexing feature to allow you to index the metadata of objects. You can specify the metadata of objects as index conditions to query objects.
If you enable the metadata management feature, you are charged the metadata management fees for objects and the query fees for buckets. This feature is free of charge during the public preview.
This topic describes the billable items and billing methods of the metadata management feature in OSS. For more information, visit the OSS pricing page.
