Elastic Compute Service:Elastic Bare Metal Server specifications

When you use ECS Bare Metal Instances, note the following:

• You cannot change instance specifications.

• If an ECS Bare Metal Instance experiences a hardware failure, it supports failover, and your data is preserved on Cloud Disks.

• Basic CPU metrics for EBM instances are not available in CloudMonitor by default. To collect CPU metrics, you must install the CloudMonitor agent. For instructions, see Install the CloudMonitor agent.

Elastic Bare Metal Server offers the following benefits:

• Dedicated compute resources

  Elastic Bare Metal Server provides the performance and isolation of a physical machine. You get dedicated compute resources with no virtualization performance overhead or feature loss. You can choose from various instance specifications, including 80-core, 96-core, 104-core, 128-core, and 192-core instances.

• Confidential computing

  In addition to physical isolation, Elastic Bare Metal Server enhances data security with a chip-level trusted execution environment (Intel^® SGX). This ensures that your encrypted data is processed only within a secure and trusted environment. This chip-level hardware security acts as a vault for your cloud data and gives you full control over the entire data encryption and key management lifecycle. For more information, see Install SGX.

• Compatibility with private clouds

  Elastic Bare Metal Server addresses demanding high-performance computing requirements and helps you build modern hybrid clouds. It combines the elasticity of a virtual machine with the performance and features of a physical machine, including full support for nested virtualization. This allows you to seamlessly migrate on-premises private clouds to Alibaba Cloud without the performance overhead of nested virtualization.

• Support for heterogeneous instruction set architectures

  Built on Virtualization 2.0, a proprietary Alibaba Cloud technology, Elastic Bare Metal Server supports processors with different instruction sets, such as ARM.
