Introduction
ECS Bare Metal Instance is a compute service that combines the elasticity of virtual
machines and the performance and features of physical machines. ECS Bare Metal Instance
is designed based on the state-of-the-art virtualization 2.0 technology developed
by Alibaba Cloud. The virtualization 2.0 technology used by ECS Bare Metal Instance
is optimized to support common ECS instances and nested virtualization. It maintains
the elasticity of ECS instances and the performance and features of physical machines.
ECS Bare Metal Instance combines the strengths of both physical machines and ECS instances
to deliver powerful and robust computing capabilities. ECS Bare Metal Instance uses
virtualization 2.0 to provide your business applications with direct access to the
processor and memory resources of the underlying servers without virtualization overheads.
ECS Bare Metal Instance retains the hardware feature sets (such as Intel® VT-x) and
resource isolation capabilities of physical machines, which is ideal for applications
that need to run in non-virtualization environments.
Based on the proprietary chips, hypervisor system software, and the redefined server
hardware architecture, ECS Bare Metal Instance integrates features from both physical
and virtual machines. ECS Bare Metal Instance can seamlessly connect with other Alibaba
Cloud services for storage, networking, and database tasks. ECS Bare Metal Instance
is fully compatible with ECS images. These properties allow you to build resources
to suit your business requirements.
When you use ECS Bare Metal Instance, take note of the following items:
- ECS Bare Metal Instance does not support instance type changes.
- If the physical machine that hosts an ECS bare metal instance fails, the system fails
the instance over to another physical machine. Data is retained in the data disks
of the instance.
Benefits
ECS Bare Metal Instance provides the following benefits based on technological innovations:
- Exclusive computing resources
ECS Bare Metal Instance is a cloud-based elastic computing service that provides the
same performance and resource isolation as physical machines. It can ensure the exclusivity
of computing resources without virtualization overheads or feature loss. ECS Bare
Metal Instance supports 8, 32, 80, 96, or 104 vCPUs and high clock speeds. An ECS
bare metal instance with eight vCPUs can deliver a core frequency of up to 3.7 GHz
to 4.1 GHz and provide better performance and faster response for gaming and finance
businesses than peer services.
- Chip-level security
In addition to physical isolation, ECS Bare Metal Instance uses a chip-level trusted
execution environment of Intel® SGX to ensure that encrypted data can be computed only in a secure and trusted environment.
This chip-level hardware security protection provides a safe box for your data in
the cloud and allows you to control all data encryption and key protection processes.
For more information, see Install SGX.
- Compatibility with multiple private clouds
ECS Bare Metal Instance can address the needs of high-performance computing and help
you build new hybrid clouds. Thanks to the flexibility, elasticity, and other strengths
inherited from the mix of physical and virtual machines, ECS Bare Metal Instance can
implement re-virtualization. Offline private cloud business can be seamlessly migrated
to Alibaba Cloud without performance overheads arising from nested virtualization.
This gives you a new method to migrate business to the cloud.
- Support for heterogeneous instruction set processors
ECS Bare Metal Instance uses virtualization 2.0 developed by Alibaba Cloud and supports
instruction set processors such as ARM at no additional costs.
Comparison of ECS bare metal instances, physical machines, and virtual machines
Compared with a physical machine with the same configurations, an ECS bare metal instance
delivers better performance. During Double 11, ECS bare metal instances delivered
robust computing capabilities with millions of vCPUs to handle traffic spikes.
The following table compares the features of ECS bare metal instances, physical machines,
