  • After you obtain the valid values for the number of physical CPU cores and the number of threads per core for an instance type, you can change the CPU options of the instance type based on your business requirements. For more information, see Change CPU options.

  • Hyper-threading (HT) enables two threads to concurrently run on a single physical CPU core as vCPUs. To create an ECS instance that uses only physical CPU cores, disable HT for the instance. For more information, see Specify CPU options.
