背景
目前阿里云的ECS实例规格已经达到大约300种，有17个region，分成Io优化和非Io优化，操作系统分为windows和非windows类型，网络类型分为vpc和classic，再加上价格单位 按小时、按周、按月、1年、2年、3年、4年、5年有不同力度的打折，如果笼统的计算，不同的组合方式达到了300 17 2 2 2 * 8=32万种，除去阿里云不支持的组合大概也有4万种有效组合方式，除此之外还有磁盘 带宽的价格。面对如此庞大的服务器组合方式，到底哪种组合方式既满足业务需求，又花最少的钱？用户可以到价格界面进行搜索，也可以下载价格JSON自行实现搜索脚本。

购买实例之前可以在价格界面搜索一下满足自己需求最低价格的实例类型，或者自行编写搜索脚本。这样您可以买到最实惠的机器，尽量为您节省成本。
