This application provides a public cloud-based cloud resource
conversion method and a
cloud management platform. The method is applied to the
cloud management platform. The method includes: The
cloud management platform receives, from a cloud resource configuration interface, cloud resource configuration information input by a tenant. The cloud management platform creates, in an infrastructure based on the cloud resource configuration information, a cloud resource that belongs to the tenant as a stable cloud resource. The cloud management platform provides a cloud resource
type conversion interface, configured to receive a first cloud resource
type conversion policy input by the tenant. The cloud management platform converts, according to the first cloud resource
type conversion policy, a
type attribute of the cloud resource from a stable cloud resource type to an unstable cloud resource type, performs billing on use of the cloud resource in a preferential manner, and stops providing the cloud resource for the tenant when the tenant does not actively release the cloud resource and idle resources are insufficient. In this application, a cloud resource type
conversion function is provided, so that a cloud resource type of the tenant can be randomly switched, thereby improving flexibility of using the cloud resource by the tenant.
