Alibaba Cloud raises prices on some Wuying hardware terminals

Cloud hardware pricing is usually a one-way ratchet downward, so a vendor explicitly tying increases to raw-material and supply-chain costs signals that input inflation is now biting at the device layer, not just in compute. The move lands on Wuying's thin-terminal lineup — the low-margin end where buyers are most price-sensitive — and the pledge to extend adjustments to other models suggests this is a pass-through cycle rather than a one-off. The open question is whether rival cloud desktop providers absorb the same cost pressure or follow, and whether enterprise buyers respond by delaying terminal refreshes or shifting toward software-only access.
