Vultr service provider will charge for snapshot storage to check whether any snapshots are forgotten to delete

A few days ago, Lao Zuo saw a netizen in the group shouting that his Vultr account was charged. He checked that there was no server in use in the background of his server, and the server list was empty. I began to tell him whether the machine was opened and then deleted last month. He said that the server has not been opened for several months and has not been in use. So I thought that there should be snapshot storage that has not been deleted, because from October 1, VULTR snapshots need to be charged.

Lao Zuo was also in the " Vultr Snapshot backup service will be charged in October (charging standard and description) It is recorded in the article that from October 1, if we are using snapshots to back up the VULTR server, there will be a charge. At that time, Lao Zuo forgot to delete a snapshot image, otherwise I will also be charged. No one can blame others for this. They saw the announcement of charges in the backstage early.

1. Why

Since all snapshots are free before, many users store snapshots without using them, which takes up a lot of resources. Therefore, it is necessary to charge fees to reduce occupancy or reduce costs.

2. How to charge

Snapshots are charged according to the amount of storage, $0.05/GB per month. We need to charge according to our actual storage.

Snapshot is actually a good function. We can quickly backup and rollback data to ensure the safety of operation and maintenance. It is also a good backup method. Lao Zuo likes snapshot backup data. At the same time, if we have more snapshots, we can also contact customer service for work orders to negotiate a lower discount.

Therefore, Lao Zuo asked him to delete the unused images, so that there would be no problem next month.
