For frequently asked questions about Universal instances, see U1 instance FAQ.
d3s, storage-intensive big data instance family
Features:
This instance family is equipped with 12-TB, large-capacity, high-throughput local SATA HDDs and can provide a maximum network bandwidth of 64 Gbit/s between instances.

This instance family supports online replacement and hot swapping of damaged disks to prevent instance shutdown.
If a local disk fails, you receive a system event. You can handle the system event by initiating the process of repairing the damaged disk. For more information, see Maintenance and system events for local disk instances.
ImportantAfter you initiate the process of repairing the damaged disk, data stored on the damaged disk cannot be restored.
Compute:
Uses 2.7 GHz Intel® Xeon® Scalable (Ice Lake) processors that deliver an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz to provide consistent computing performance.
Storage:
Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.
-
Supports only ESSDs and ESSD AutoPL disks.
Network:
These instances support IPv4 and IPv6. For information about IPv6 communication, see IPv6 communication.

g9it, security-enhanced general-purpose instance family
Introduction:
Supports Intel® SGX encrypted computing with up to 192 GiB of encrypted memory. This ensures the confidentiality and integrity of critical code and data against malware attacks.
Supports SGX technology in virtual machine form factors. You can choose instance types as needed.
Hyper-threading is disabled by default, providing exclusive physical cores. This reduces the risk of side-channel attacks. The memory encryption algorithm is upgraded to AES-256.
ImportantIf you use keys (such as SGX sealing keys) that are bound to hardware to encrypt the data of an instance within an Intel SGX enclave, the encrypted data cannot be decrypted after the host of the instance is changed. We recommend that you perform data redundancy and backup at the application layer to ensure application reliability.
Leveraging TPM/TCM chips, the boot chain, from the underlying server hardware to the GuestOS, is measured and authenticated. This enables trusted boot.
Uses the new Alibaba Cloud CIPU architecture, offloading many virtualization functions to dedicated hardware. This reduces virtualization overhead and delivers stable, predictable, ultra-high performance.

gn7e, GPU-accelerated compute-optimized instance family
Features of the gn7e instance family include:
-
Overview:
-
this instance family lets you select instance types with different numbers of GPUs and CPU resources to meet your various AI business needs.
-
Built on the third-generation X-Dragon architecture, gn7e instances deliver double the average network bandwidth for VPCs and cloud disks compared to the previous generation.
-
-
Use cases:
-
Small- and medium-scale AI training workloads.
-
High-performance computing (HPC) workloads accelerated using CUDA.
-
AI inference workloads that require high GPU compute performance or large GPU memory.
-
Deep learning, such as training AI algorithms for image classification, autonomous driving, and speech recognition.
-
GPU-intensive scientific computing, such as computational fluid dynamics, computational finance, molecular dynamics, and environmental analysis.
ImportantWhen you run AI training workloads with high communication loads, such as those involving Transformer models, you must enable NVLink for GPU-to-GPU communication. Otherwise, large-scale data transfers over the PCIe link may cause unexpected failures and data corruption. If you are unsure about the communication link topology for your training workload, submit a ticket for support from Alibaba Cloud technical experts.
