Note
  • Intel Ice Lake supports only remote attestation based on Intel Software Guard Extensions Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel SGX DCAP), and does not support remote attestation based on Intel Enhanced Privacy ID (EPID). You must adapt applications before you can use the remote attestation feature. For more information about remote attestation, see Strengthen Enclave Trust with Attestation.
  • Intel SGX is based on the host hardware. This instance family does not support hot migration.
  • Operations such as changing instance types and enabling the economical mode may cause the host of an instance to change. Changes to the host of an instance of this instance family may cause failures to decrypt data. Proceed with caution.
  • By default, auto failover is disabled. You can enable it. For more information, see Modify instance maintenance attributes. Auto failover causes the host of an instance to change. Changes to the host of an instance of this instance family may cause failures to decrypt data. Proceed with caution.
  • When you create a security-enhanced instance, you must select a dedicated image to use the security features. For more information, see Create security-enhanced instances.
  • 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 Description of instance type specifications.

    • Offers a CPU-to-memory ratio of 1:8.
    • Uses 2.5 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8269CY (Cascade Lake) processors that deliver a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz for consistent computing performance.
    • Allows you to enable or disable Hyper-Threading.
      Note By default, Hyper-Threading is enabled on ECS instances. For more information, see Customize and view CPU options.
  • Storage:
    • Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.
    • Supports ESSDs, standard SSDs, and ultra disks.
      Note The maximum performance of disks varies based on instance families. A single instance of this instance family can deliver up to 200,000 IOPS. For higher storage I/O performance, we recommend that you use g6se.
    • Provides high storage I/O performance based on large computing capacity.
      Note For more information about the storage I/O performance of the next-generation enterprise-level instance families, see Storage I/O performance.
  • Network:
