FAQ about resource packages

4. Which types of instances can I use resource packages on?
You can use resource packages only on Pay-As-You-Go instances. Prepaid and postpaid instances do not support resource packages.

5. Can I return a resource package?
Yes, you can return an unused resource package that has not expired. To return a resource package, contact customer service.
