2019年7月17日更新：收到Alibaba Cloud的邮件，快照将于8月21日起开始收费。

刚刚收到阿里云国际发送的邮件，提醒阿里云国际的快照功能将于2019年7月18日起开始商业化运行，开始收费。今天是2019年7月15日，距离收费不到3天时间了，感觉有点仓促，如果不是经常关注邮件，说不定会被阿里云国际收取快照费用。

具体邮件内容：

Dear Customers,

We believe that the snapshot has been a vital method to back up and recover your service data during the open beta program. Therefore, Alibaba Cloud snapshot will be commercially available across all regions and provide professional data recovery and restoration service as of July 18, 2019. For more information about the offered price list, please visit the page.

If you no longer need to use snapshots, delete your snapshots in all regions and disable the Automatic Snapshot feature before July 18, 2019, so as to avoid unnecessary costs. Otherwise, you will be billed on a per-hour basis based on the Pay-As-You-Go method of your existing snapshots thereafter.

Thanks for your support!

Alibaba Cloud

其实快照功能真的不错，一直羡慕阿里云国际的免费快照功能，现在，使用阿里云中国的用户心里终于可以平衡一点了。
