Offset factors of a storage plan
Storage plans have different offset factors in different regions. Therefore, clusters in different regions have different resource plan capacities that can be offset. For example, the following table provides the storage resource capacities that can be offset per hour within the validity period if the capacity of a storage plan is 100 GB.
Region | Zone | Offset factor | Storage resource capacity that can be offset per hour if the capacity of a storage plan is 100 GB |
China (Beijing), China (Hangzhou), China (Shanghai), and China (Shenzhen) | Single zone | 1.00 | 100.00 GB |
Multi-zone | 1.34 | 74.63 GB (100 GB/1.25) | |
China (Hong Kong), Japan (Tokyo), and Germany (Frankfurt) | Single zone | 1.00 | 100.00 GB |
Multi-zone deployment is not supported. | N/A | N/A | |
Singapore | Single zone | 1.00 | 100.00 GB |
Multi-zone | 1.17 | 85.47 GB (100 GB/1.17) | |
US (Virginia) | Single zone | 0.94 | 106.38 GB (100 GB/0.94) |
Multi-zone deployment is not supported. | N/A | N/A |
Example
Offset by using a storage plan = Actual storage usage of the current cluster × Offset factor of the region to which the current cluster belongs.
For example, you purchase a storage plan with 100 GB, you have a single-zone ApsaraDB for ClickHouse Enterprise Edition cluster in the Singapore region, a single-zone ApsaraDB for ClickHouse Enterprise Edition cluster in the US (Virginia) region, and a multi-zone ApsaraDB for ClickHouse Enterprise Edition cluster in the China (Hangzhou) region, and the storage resource consumption of these clusters can be offset by using the same storage plan. If the used amount of the storage resources of the cluster in the Singapore region is 12 GB and the storage resources are used for one hour, 12 GB × hour (12 GB × 1 hour × 1.00) in the storage plan is offset. If the used amount of the storage resources of the cluster in the US (Virginia) region is 10 GB and the storage resources are used for one hour, 9.4 GB × hour (10 GB × 1 hour × 0.94) in the storage plan is offset. If the used amount of the storage resources of the cluster in the China (Hangzhou) region is 16 GB and the storage resources are used for one hour, 21.44 GB × hour (16 GB × 1 hour × 1.34) in the storage plan is offset. At the end of this hour, the total storage resource usage is 42.84 GB × hour (12 GB × hour + 9.4 GB × hour + 21.44 GB × hour). If the total storage resource usage is less than the quota of the purchased storage plan, no additional fees are incurred.
