Why is there no quote available for Huawei Cloud products when I select Pay-per-Use as the preferred billing mode?

Cause

The tool cannot obtain a conversion coefficient between the usage units of the vendor and Huawei Cloud products, and it cannot provide a quote without the usage for the Huawei Cloud products. 


Solution

In the downloaded report, adjust the usage based on the list price of the product. Then, the tool can calculate the Huawei Cloud prices. 

Why are the numbers of yearly/monthly products between the vendor and Huawei Cloud different?

Cause

For services which are supported, if Monthly/Yearly is selected as the preferred billing mode, the tool will calculate the quantity of Huawei Cloud equivalents based on the usage in the vendor's bill, not the quantity of the other vendor's products.  

For other services which are not supported, if Monthly/Yearly is selected as the preferred billing mode, the tool produces a quote based on the "one Huawei Cloud equivalent in each region" rule.


Example

The monthly usage of t2.nano in EC2 US East (N.Virginia) is 2,976 hours. The number of equivalent Huawei Cloud products is 2,976/730 = 4.01 ≈ 5 hosts.
