Overview

Storage capacity units (SCUs) can be used to offset pay-as-you-go bills of a variety of cloud storage services to streamline your service purchase process. SCUs can be used along with ECS reserved instances to make it easy to plan your budget on cloud computing resources. In addition, SCUs decouple computing resources from storage resources and allow cloud disks to be attached to or detached from instances, so that cloud resources can match your business requirements more flexibly.
