Convert an SFS to a committed plan

An hourly SFS can move to a Committed plan, for a discounted price over a fixed term.

Convert it

Once the SFS reads Available, and any backup on it has finished its first run:

1. In Scalable File System, open the SFS’s Actions menu and click Convert to Committed.
2. In Committed SFS Conversion, pick a plan under Choose Committed Option. Each option shows its term in days and its price for your SFS’s size. The plan applies from the date you convert.
3. Accept the agreement and click Convert.

The SFS is now on the committed plan, with auto-renew on.

Change what happens at the end of the term

A committed SFS either renews at the end of its term or moves to hourly billing. To change that choice, use the SFS’s Actions menu:

1. Open the SFS’s Actions menu and click Committed Settings.
2. Choose what happens when the term ends. To renew, choose Auto-renew the committed period and pick the plan to renew with. To move to hourly billing, choose Apply hourly billing as per the base rate of the plan.
3. Click Update Settings.

Your SFS keeps its committed rate until the end of the term, then follows the choice you saved.
