Cloud Data Transfer (CDT)

Alibaba Cloud Data Transfer (CDT) consolidates billing for internet and cross-region data movements under a single pay-as-you-go model. It handles the accounting for traffic leaving your environment or moving between Alibaba regions, simplifying the financial tracking of network egress costs.

This setup suits teams already operating within the Alibaba ecosystem who want streamlined invoice management for their network traffic. The main friction point is the complete absence of a free tier, meaning every byte transferred incurs a cost from the first unit, which can surprise projects with minimal initial data needs.
