This topic describes the features of memory optimized instance families and lists the instance types of each family.

r6e, memory optimized instance family

Features
  • Provides predictable and consistent high performance and reduces virtualization overheads with the use of the third generation X-Dragon architecture. In addition, improves storage performance, network performance, and computing stability by an order of magnitude through fast path acceleration of X-Dragon chips.
  • I/O optimized.
  • Supports enhanced SSDs (ESSDs).
  • Provides high network and storage I/O performance based on large computing capacity.
    Note For more information about the storage I/O performance of the new generation of enterprise-level instance families, see Storage I/O performance.
  • Provides an ultra high packet forwarding rate.
    Note The maximum network performance varies depending on instance families. For more concurrent connections, we recommend that you use g5ne. For more information, see the "g5ne, general purpose instance family with enhanced network performance" section in Instance families.
  • Offers a CPU-to-memory ratio of 1:8.
  • Equipped with 2.5 GHz Intel ® Xeon ® Platinum 8269 processors with a maximum turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz.
  • Allows you to enable or disable Hyper-Threading.
    Note By default, Hyper-Threading is enabled on ECS instances. For more information, see Customize CPU options.
  • Suitable for the following scenarios:
    • Scenarios where large volumes of packets are received and transmitted, such as on-screen video comments and telecom data forwarding
    • High-performance databases and in-memory databases
    • Data analysis, data mining, and distributed memory caching
    • Hadoop clusters, Spark clusters, and other memory intensive enterprise applications

  • You can go to the ECS Instance Types Available for Each Region page to view the instance types available in each region.
  • For more information about these specifications, see Instance specifications.
