Gateway Load Balancer Capacity Unit (GLCU) is used to measure the metrics involved in processing traffic with GWLB. It is the smallest unit for measuring GWLB resource consumption. GLCU fees support the pay-as-you-go billing mode. This document describes the information of GLCU fees.

GLCU Metrics

Under the pay-as-you-go mode, GLCU metrics include processed traffic.
Metric Name
Metric Description
GLCU Coefficient
Number of GLCUs Per Hour
Number of new connections
Number of new connections processed per second.
600
Number of GLCUs = Average number of new connections per second within an hour/GLCU coefficient
Number of concurrent connections
Number of concurrent connections per minute.
60000
Number of GLCUs = Average number of concurrent connections per minute within an hour/GLCU coefficient
Processed traffic
The total inbound and outbound traffic processed by GWLB per hour, in GB.
1
Number of GLCUs = Total traffic within an hour ÷ GLCU coefficient
In the pay-as-you-go billing mode, the billing period for GLCU is 1 hour. Within 1 hour, the number of GLCUs consumed by GWLB is converted based on the above metrics, and payment is made according to the metric with the highest GLCU usage.

GLCU fees per hour = Number of GLCUs x GLCU unit price. Among them:
Number of GLCUs = MAX[Number of GLCUs calculated based on new connections, Number of GLCUs calculated based on concurrent connections, Number of GLCUs calculated based on processed traffic]

Billing Examples

Assume that your GWLB instance is deployed in Guangzhou, it receives 300 new connections per second, with each lasting 3 minutes, and processes a total of 1,024 KB request and response data per second. Your GLCU fees will be calculated as follows:
Metric Name
Usage Examples
GLCU Coefficient
Number of GLCUs
Number of new connections
In the example, your GWLB instance processes an average of 300 new connections per second.
600
Number of GLCUs = 300/GLCU coefficient = 0.5
Number of concurrent connections
In the example, your GWLB instance processes an average of 300 new connections per second, with each lasting 3 minutes. The number of concurrent connections per minute is: 300 x 60 x 3 = 54000.
60000
Number of GLCUs = 54000/GLCU coefficient = 0.9
Processed traffic (per hour)
In the example, your GWLB instance processes an average of 1,024 KB data per second, that is, 3.6 GB data per hour.
1
Number of GLCUs = 3.6 ÷ GLCU coefficient = 3.6
Your GWLB instance consumes 3.6 GLCUs every hour. Therefore, GLCU hourly fee = 3.6 GLCUs x 0.004 USD/GLCU = 0.0144 USD.
