This topic describes all Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance families available for purchase and introduces their features, instance types, and supported scenarios to facilitate instance type selection.
Background information
Before you read further in this topic, you must be familiar with the following information:
Classification and naming of instance types. Familiarize yourself with the instance family categories, naming conventions of instance types, and differences between instance families. For more information, see Classification and naming of instance types.
Instance type metrics. For information about the metrics of instance types, see Instance type metrics. You can also call the DescribeInstanceTypeFamilies and DescribeInstanceTypes operations to query the instance families provided by ECS and the details of all instance types.
Instructions for selecting instance types based on your business scenarios. For more information, see Instance type selection.
After you determine an instance type for your use case, you may need to learn about the following information:
Regions in which the instance type is available for purchase. Instance types that are available for purchase vary based on the region. You can go to the Instance Types Available for Each Region page to view the instance types available for purchase in each region. Alternatively, you can call the DescribeRegions and DescribeZones operations to query the supported regions and the zones in a specific region.
Estimated instance costs. You can calculate the price of instances that uses different billing methods in the Price Calculator. You can also call the DescribePrice operation to query information about the most recent prices of ECS resources.
Instructions for purchasing an instance. You can go to the ECS instance buy page to place a purchase order for instances.
You may be concerned about the following information:
Retired instance families. If you cannot find an instance type in this topic, the instance type may be in a retired instance family. For information about retired instance families, see Retired instance families.
Supported instance type changes. Before you change the instance type of an instance, check whether the instance type can be changed and identify compatible instance types. For more information, see Instance types and families that support instance type changes.

g7t, security-enhanced general-purpose instance family
Introduction:
This instance family supports up to 256 GiB of encrypted memory and confidential computing based on Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) to protect the confidentiality and integrity of essential code and data from malware attacks.
This instance family supports Virtual SGX (vSGX) and allows you to select instance types based on your business requirements.
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.
This instance family implements trusted boot based on Trusted Cryptography Module (TCM) or Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips. During a trusted boot, all modules in the boot chain from the underlying server to the guest operating system are measured and verified.
This instance family offloads a large number of virtualization features to dedicated hardware by using the third-generation SHENLONG architecture to provide predictable and consistent ultra-high performance and reduce virtualization overheads.
Supported scenarios:
Scenarios that involve sensitive information such as personal identity information, healthcare information, financial information, and intellectual property data
Scenarios in which confidential data is shared among multiple parties
Blockchain scenarios
Confidential machine learning
Scenarios that require high security and enhanced trust, such as services for financial organizations, public service sectors, and enterprises
Enterprise-level applications of various types and sizes
Compute:

Uses the third-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable (Ice Lake) processors that deliver a base frequency of 2.7 GHz and an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz to provide consistent computing performance.
Supports Hyper-Threading. By default, Hyper-Threading is enabled. For more information, see Specify and view CPU options.
Storage:
Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.
Supports ESSDs and ESSD AutoPL disks. For information about disks, see Overview of Block Storage.
Provides high storage I/O performance based on large computing capacity. For more information, see Storage I/O performance.
Network:
Supports IPv4 and IPv6. For information about IPv6 communication, see IPv6 communication.
Provides ultra-high packet forwarding rates.
Provides high network performance based on large computing capacity.

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.
