    Lindorm Tunnel Service (LTS) is a tunnel service developed by Alibaba Cloud for Lindorm. You can use LTS to import and export data, track data changes, and back up and restore data. This topic describes how to purchase the LTS service and log on to the web UI of LTS.

    Prerequisites

    An Alibaba Cloud account is registered. For more information, see Sign up with Alibaba Cloud.

    Purchase methods

    You can purchase the LTS services by using two methods. The following table describes the two methods.

    Purchase an LTS instance.

    LTS instances support all features of LTS.

    The billable items and billing rules of the LTS service purchased by using the two methods are the same.

    Log on to the web UI of LTS from an LTS instance

    A Lindorm instance is available. Purchase the LTS service on the console.

    • The LTS service purchased by using this method supports all features of LTS.

    • The search index, change tracking, and backup and restoration features depend on the LTS service. Therefore, you must purchase LTS nodes when you enable any of the services for the first time. After you purchase these LTS nodes, you can use the features of LTS without the need to purchase an individual LTS instance.

      Note

      If you purchase LTS nodes when you enable one of the preceding features, you do not need to purchase additional LTS nodes when you enable the other two features.

    • If you activate LindormTSDB, LindormDFS, or LindormSearch for your Lindorm instance, you can perform the following steps to purchase the LTS service: Log on to the Lindorm console. In the Configurations section of the Instance Details page, click Activate Now in the Actions column corresponding to LTS Engine.

    Log on to the web UI of LTS from a Lindorm instance

    Purchase an LTS instance

    1. Log on to the Lindorm console.

    2. On the Instances page, click Create.

      Note

      You can also go to the product details page and click Buy Now to create an LTS instance.

    3. Select Lindorm Tunnel Service for Product Type.

    4. Select Subscription or Pay-as-you-go for Billing Method.

      Note

      A pay-as-you-go instance can be converted into a subscription instance. A subscription instance cannot be converted into a pay-as-you-go instance.

      • Subscription: If you purchase a subscription instance, you must pay an upfront fee for the instance. For long-term usage, the subscription billing method is more cost-effective than the pay-as-you-go billing method. You are provided with larger discounts for longer subscription periods.

      • Pay-as-you-go: You are charged for your instance based on the instance specification. Bills are generated on an hourly basis. Fees are automatically deducted from your account. We recommend that you select the pay-as-you-go billing method for short-term use. If you no longer need your pay-as-you-go RDS instance, you can release it to reduce costs.

    5. Configure parameters described in the following table.

      Parameter

      Description

      Regions and zones

      Select the region in which you want to create the LTS instance.

      Note

      • After the LTS instance is created, the region of the instance cannot be changed. Proceed with caution.

      • If your application is deployed on an ECS instance, we recommend that you deploy the LTS instance in the region where the ECS instance resides. If the LTS instance and the ECS instance are deployed in different regions, your application cannot communicate with the LTS instance over an internal network.

      Zone

      Select the zone in which you want to create the LTS instance.

      Note

      If your application is deployed on an ECS instance, we recommend that you deploy the LTS instance in the zone where the ECS instance resides to reduce network latency.

      Network Type

      Specify the type of network where you want to deploy the instance. This parameter can be set only to VPC.

      VPC

      Select the VPC to which the LTS instance belongs. If no VPC is available, you can create a VPC in the VPC console. For more information, see Create and manage a VPC.

      VSwitch

      Select the vSwitch to which you want the LTS instance to connect. If no vSwitch is available, you can create a vSwitch in the VPC console. For more information, see Create a vSwitch.
