u2a, universal instance family
Introduction: u2a instances use Alibaba Cloud's new Cloud Infrastructure Processing Unit (CIPU) architecture. They are compatible with multiple generations of AMD EPYC™ processors and provide enterprise-level computing power.
Use cases:
Small and medium-sized databases, such as Redis and MySQL
Application servers
Middleware, such as MQ and Kafka
Websites or network access layers, such as Apache and Nginx
Other internal enterprise systems, such as development and testing environments and email systems
Compute:
Supports instance types with vCPU-to-memory ratios of 1:1, 1:2, and 1:4.
Processor: AMD EPYC™ processor with a turbo frequency of up to 3.7 GHz.
For more information about operating system compatibility, see Compatibility between AMD instance types and operating systems.
Storage:
I/O optimized instances.
Supports the Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) protocol. For more information, see Overview of the NVMe protocol.
Supports ESSD Entry disks, enterprise SSDs (ESSDs), and ESSD AutoPL disks. For more information about disks, see Overview of Elastic Block Storage.
Small instance types support burstable disk IOPS and disk bandwidth. The storage I/O performance of an instance is determined by its compute specifications. A larger instance type provides better storage I/O performance. For more information, see Storage I/O performance.
Network:
Supports IPv4 and IPv6. For information about IPv6 communication, see IPv6 communication.
Supports Elastic RDMA Interface (ERI). For more information about how to use ERI, see Enable eRDMA on an enterprise-level instance.
Supports Jumbo Frames.
The network performance of an instance depends on its instance type. A larger instance type provides better network performance.

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.
Supported scenarios:
Big data computing and storage business scenarios in which services such as Hadoop MapReduce, HDFS, Hive, and HBase are used
Machine learning scenarios such as Spark in-memory computing and MLlib
Search and log data processing scenarios in which solutions such as Elasticsearch and Kafka are used
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 O&M scenarios and system events for instances equipped with local disks.
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:
Supports IPv4 and IPv6. For information about IPv6 communication, see IPv6 communication.
Provides high network performance based on large computing capacity.

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.

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.
