Billing overview
Agentic NDR is an advanced value-added Cloud Firewall service that uses out-of-band traffic mirroring to inspect all north-south and east-west traffic without affecting your running services. It detects and traces advanced threats through bidirectional traffic analysis, attack outcome assessment, full packet capture, and deep packet inspection (DPI) of application-layer protocols.
Agentic NDR supports two billing methods: Subscription and Pay-as-you-go.
Billing methods
Subscription
Prepay for resources at a fixed term to lock in lower prices and reduce costs.
Best for:
-
Workloads with predictable, stable usage
-
Long-term production environments where continuous coverage offers significant savings over pay-as-you-go
Elastic traffic: By default, pay-as-you-go for elastic traffic is enabled on subscription instances to ensure uninterrupted traffic inspection during spikes, such as promotional events or other temporary bursts. For details, see Pay-as-you-go for elastic traffic on subscription instances.
Pay-as-you-go
Pay only for the resources you use, with no upfront commitment. Provision and release capacity on demand.
Best for:
-
Applications with variable or unpredictable traffic patterns
-
Temporary workloads, development environments, and testing
