Prerequisites
Purchasing in Console
Billing Mode: Pay-as-you-go.
Region: The region where the instance is actually deployed. To minimize delay, we recommend the same region as the CVM instance to be connected to.
AZ: Physical IDCs where electric power facilities and networks are independent from each other within the same region. To minimize delay, we recommend the same AZ as the CVM instance to be connected to.
Network: The network where the instance is deployed. To minimize delay, we recommend the same network as the CVM instance to be connected to. Both multi-AZ deployment (the primary and standby nodes are in different AZs) and single-AZ deployment (the primary and standby nodes are in the same AZ) are supported. Specific primary and standby AZs are as displayed on the actual purchase page.
