This topic provides an overview of the most recent and earlier instance types for the primary ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instances that use the x86 architecture. The overview provides the specifications for each instance type.
- Some instance types may no longer be available. You can select only the instance types that are available on the ApsaraDB RDS buy page.
- The standard SSD storage type is no longer available for sale for some RDS instances. The enhanced SSD (ESSD) storage type that provides high performance is supported for the RDS instances.
