Bill-by-traffic
CVM is billed based on public network outbound traffic (in GB).
Characteristics: CVM is pay-as-you-go, you only pay for what you use. This flexible billing method reduces cost for customers with fluctuating network demands. You can set a bandwidth cap to avoid traffic surge fees. Once the cap is reached, packet loss will occur by default and no other costs will be incurred.
Note:
If you set the bandwidth to 0 Mbps, CVM instance will not be assigned a public IP and will not support outbound traffic. Thus, it cannot be used as public gateway. Please do so after careful consideration.
