Basic Configuration | product form | Select Serverful. |
| Billing Mode | Supports Monthly Subscription and Pay-As-You-Go modes. Monthly Subscription: Payment is required to use resources, mainly suitable for relatively stable business scenarios for long-term use. Pay-As-You-Go: Use resources first and pay later, mainly suitable for test or short-term situations with uncertain peak traffic. |
| Cluster type | Pro Edition is primarily aimed at large-scale production environment customers. Advanced Edition is primarily aimed at test environment customers in small-scale scenarios. |
| Region | Select a region with resources close to those of the client deployment to reduce network delay and improve access speed. Cloud products in different regions are not interconnected on a private network and cannot be changed after purchase. Please select carefully. |
Cluster Configuration | Name | Optional. Not specified defaults to unnamed. |
| Kafka version | Choose the appropriate Kafka version for your business needs. The recommended choice is version 2.8.1. |
