Billing Overview of Snapshot
- Snapshot charging is based on the total number of snapshots for users, and pushed to billing according to the actual total space occupied by snapshots per hour.
- The snapshot charging method is a post-paid method. It needs to be opened (it will be judged at the first push, and if it is not opened, the billing opening API will be called for opening). This is not perceived by the user), but there is no need to freeze and unfreeze.
- The lifecycle of snapshot billing connection billing management. It provides 3 APIs: service suspension, correction and destruction.
- Regular snapshot. The created snapshot will have an expiration deletion time, and after expiry, it will be automatically deleted -> billing is required.
- Snapshot created when a full machine image is created -> billing is required.
Measurement Method
- Take User+Region+Total Snapshot Capacity as the measurement unit.
- Total capacity: Count the total capacity of all snapshots of a user in a certain region based on the actual size of snapshots.
- Total regional capacity monitoring: The total snapshot capacity of each user region every 10 minutes needs to be reported to the monitoring side.
