Purchase and Initialization
This document is intended for platform integrators, explaining how to purchase the Platform Edition package. After purchase, you can call CloudBase APIs to create environments on demand or in advance, providing independent environments for your users. See Create Environments.
Platform Edition uses the account (UIN) as the unit of billing and management: after purchasing one Platform Edition package, environment creation and resource usage of all environments under the account are metered and deducted from the package credits. You do not need to purchase a package separately for each environment.
Purchase Process
Platform Edition is currently in whitelist release. Complete the purchase with the following steps:
- Contact the CloudBase team to enable Platform Edition purchase eligibility: apply via contact us or submit a Tencent Cloud ticket
- Go to the CloudBase purchase page, select the Platform Edition package, and complete the order and payment
- Complete activation and authorization in the console: after the package is delivered, go to the CloudBase console. When using CloudBase for the first time, the console will guide you to activate the CloudBase service and complete service role authorization. Follow the console guidance to complete these steps; after activation and authorization, you can call APIs to create environments
Package Status
The Platform Edition package goes through the following states during its lifecycle:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Delivering | After purchase, the underlying resources are being prepared automatically, and the package automatically turns to "Normal" when ready |
| Normal | The package is available, and environments can be created and used normally |
| Isolated | The package has expired without renewal, and the service is stopped |
| Overrun suspension | The package has not expired, but credits are exhausted, and the service is stopped |
| Destroyed | After 14 days of isolation, environments and data are all deleted |
The state transitions are as follows:
- Delivering → Normal: after purchase, the underlying resources are prepared automatically, and the package turns to Normal when ready
- Normal → Overrun suspension: the package has not expired, but credits are exhausted, and the service is stopped
- Normal → Isolated: the package expired without renewal, and the service is stopped
- Overrun suspension → Normal: after enabling pay-as-you-go, the package becomes available again
- Overrun suspension → Isolated: the package expired without renewal, and it becomes isolated
- Isolated → Normal: after renewal, the package becomes available again
- Isolated → Destroyed: the package is automatically destroyed after 14 days of isolation, and the data cannot be recovered
Data and availability: Platform Edition is an account-level package, and the package status affects all environments under the account. When isolated or in overrun suspension, the data of all environments remains, but the services are unavailable; after destruction, the data of all environments is completely deleted.

- → Create Environments: create environments on demand or in advance to prepare independent environments for your users
- → Manage API Keys: issue an API Key for each user environment
