Last Updated:Sep 24, 2024

This topic describes the features of memory-optimized instance families of Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and lists the instance types of each instance family.

r8a, memory-optimized instance family

Features:

  • This instance family uses the innovative Cloud Infrastructure Processing Unit (CIPU) architecture developed by Alibaba Cloud to provide stable computing power, a more robust I/O engine, and chip-level security hardening.

  • Compute:

    • Offers a CPU-to-memory ratio of 1:8.

    • Uses 2.7 GHz AMD EPYCTM Genoa processors that deliver a turbo frequency of up to 3.7 GHz to provide consistent computing performance.

    • Allows you to enable or disable Hyper-Threading.

      Note

      By default, Hyper-Threading is enabled for ECS instances. For more information, see Specify and view CPU options.

  • Storage:

    • Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.

    • Supports only ESSDs and ESSD AutoPL disks.

      Note

      ESSDs and ESSD AutoPL disks are based on the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol and support the multi-attach feature to meet the requirements of core enterprise business. For more information, see NVMe disks and Multi-attach for cloud disks.

    • Provides disk burstable IOPS and burstable bandwidth capabilities for low-specification instances.

Note
  • Intel Ice Lake supports only remote attestation based on Intel Software Guard Extensions Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel SGX DCAP) and does not support remote attestation based on Intel Enhanced Privacy ID (EPID). You must adapt applications before you can use the remote attestation feature. For more information about remote attestation, see Strengthen Enclave Trust with Attestation.

  • Intel SGX depends on host hardware. This instance family does not support hot migration.

  • Operations, such as changing instance types and enabling the economical mode, may cause the host of an instance to change. For instances of this instance family, the host change may cause data decryption to fail. Proceed with caution.

  • By default, failover is disabled. You can enable failover. For more information, see Modify instance maintenance attributes. Failover causes the host of an instance to change. For instances of this instance family, the host change may cause data decryption to fail. Proceed with caution.

  • When you create a security-enhanced instance, you must select a dedicated image to use the security features. For more information, see Create a trusted instance.

  • You can go to the Instance Types Available for Each Region page to view the instance types available in each region.

  • For more information about these specifications, see the Instance type specifications table in the "Overview of instance families" topic.

  • To use the ecs.r7t.32xlarge instance type, submit a ticket.

re6p, persistent memory-optimized instance family

For answers to commonly asked questions about persistent memory-optimized instances, see Instance FAQ.

Features:

  • This instance family uses Intel® OptaneTM persistent memory.

    Important

    The reliability of data stored in persistent memory depends on the reliability of persistent memory devices and the physical servers to which these devices are attached. This increases the risks of single points of failure (SPOFs). To ensure the reliability of application data, we recommend that you implement data redundancy at the application layer and use cloud disks for long-term data storage.

  • This instance family allows persistent memory to be used as memory or as local SSDs on instances of some instance types.

    Note

    For more information, see Configure the usage mode of persistent memory.

  • This instance family provides the ecs.re6p-redis.<nx>large instance types for Redis applications.

    Note

    ecs.re6p-redis.<nx>large instance types are exclusively provided for Redis applications. Persistent memory on instances of these instance types is used as memory by default and cannot be re-configured as local SSDs. For information about how to deploy a Redis application, see Deploy Redis on persistent memory-optimized instances.

  • Compute:

    • Uses 2.5 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8269CY (Cascade Lake) processors that deliver a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz to provide consistent computing performance.

r6e, enhanced-performance memory-optimized instance family

Features:

  • This instance family offloads a large number of virtualization features to dedicated hardware with the use of the third-generation SHENLONG architecture to provide predictable and consistent ultra-high performance and reduce virtualization overheads. This instance family utilizes fast path acceleration on chips to improve storage performance, network performance, and computing stability by an order of magnitude.

  • Compute:

    • Offers a CPU-to-memory ratio of 1:8.

    • Uses 2.5 GHz Intel® Xeon® Platinum 8269CY (Cascade Lake) processors that deliver a turbo frequency of 3.2 GHz to provide consistent computing performance.

    • Allows you to enable or disable Hyper-Threading.

      Note

      By default, Hyper-Threading is enabled for ECS instances. For more information, see Specify and view CPU options.

  • Storage:

    • Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.

    • Supports only ESSDs and ESSD AutoPL disks.

    • Provides high network and storage I/O performance based on large computing capacity.

      Note

      For information about the storage I/O performance of the next-generation, enterprise-level instance families, see Storage I/O performance.

  • Network:

    • Supports IPv6.

    • Provides ultra-high packet forwarding rates.

      Note

      Network performance varies based on the instance families. For higher concurrent connection and network packet forwarding capabilities, we recommend that you use the g7ne instance family.

  • Supported scenarios:

    • Scenarios in which large volumes of packets are received and transmitted, such as on-screen video comments and telecom data forwarding

    • High-performance databases and in-memory databases

    • Data analytics, data mining, and distributed memory caching

    • Enterprise-level memory-intensive applications such as Hadoop clusters and Spark clusters
