Based on an Advanced Cloud Native Processor
with High Performance
As the first instance family that uses ARM v9 architecture CPUs, ECS g8y instances provide performance that is 20% higher than the industry benchmark. The energy efficiency ratio is 50% higher than the industry benchmark. ECS g8y instances use chips whose transmission rate is improved by using memory and interface technologies, such as DDR5 and PCIe v5.0.
The cost-effectiveness ratio of ECS g8y instances is 100% higher than the seventh-generation general-purpose instances. The network performance and storage performance are also 100% higher than the ARM-based instances of the previous generation.
ECS g8y instances are suitable for scenarios, such as cloud-native applications, AIC applications, video codecs, and common Internet applications.
High Computing Performance of a Single Core
Each vCPU core of an ECS g8y instance is a physical core and does not support hyper-threading. Therefore, the performance of a single-core instance is higher than a single-core X86-based instance that supports hyper-threading. The performance of a single-core SPECrate2017_int_base instance is 40% higher than a single-core seventh-generation general-purpose instance.
Excellent Network and Storage Performance
The network performance and storage performance of an ECS g8y instance is 100% higher than an ARM-based instance of the previous generation with the same specification. The network bandwidth and storage I/O capabilities of small-specification instances are burstable. The forwarding capability of NGINX long-lived connections is improved by 40%.
Uses the Fourth-Generation SHENLONG Architecture
The SHENLONG architecture, developed by Alibaba Cloud, is a computing architecture that integrates software and hardware. Dedicated chips are used to reduce virtualization overheads. This way, you can use almost all the compute capacity of your ECS g8y instance. The system also provides automatic O&M and hardware-level isolation. This ensures that your business can run in a more stable and secure environment.
