Symptoms
Dynamic Route for CDN (DCDN) can be used together with other Alibaba Cloud services, such as Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Object Storage Service (OSS). DCDN edge nodes are globally distributed. Data is transmitted over the Internet between DCDN and other Alibaba Cloud services. In this case, how is data transfer billed?
Causes
Data transfer of DCDN and other services is billed separately. For more information, see the billing rules for each Alibaba Cloud service.
- When an edge node retrieves resources from an OSS bucket, data is transmitted from
the OSS bucket to the edge node. In this case, DCDN does not charge fees but OSS does.
- If the accelerated region is outside the Chinese mainland and an OSS bucket is used as the origin server, you are not charged for data transfer from edge nodes in the accelerated region to the origin server.
- If the accelerated region is outside the Chinese mainland and an OSS bucket is used as the origin server, you are charged for data transfer from edge nodes in the Chinese mainland to the origin server.
- If the accelerated region is in the Chinese mainland and an OSS bucket is used as the origin server, you are charged for data transfer from edge nodes to the origin server.
- If the requested resources are already cached on the edge node, data is transmitted from the edge node to the client. In this case, OSS does not charge fees but DCDN does.
