Introduction
ECS Bare Metal Instance is an innovative computing service developed by Alibaba Cloud
based on state-of-the-art virtualization 2.0 technology. Virtualization 2.0 endows
ECS bare metal instances with the elasticity of virtual machines (ECS instances),
the performance and features of physical machines, and support for nested virtualization.
ECS bare metal instances combine the strengths of both physical machines and ECS instances
to deliver powerful and robust computing capabilities. ECS Bare Metal Instance uses
virtualization 2.0 to provide your business applications with direct access to the
processors and memory resources of the underlying servers without virtualization overheads.
ECS Bare Metal Instance retains the hardware feature sets (such as Intel VT-x) and
resource isolation capabilities of physical machines, which is ideal for applications
that need to run in non-virtualized environments.
ECS Bare Metal Instance integrates features from both physical and virtual machines
based on the proprietary chips, hypervisor system software, and a redefined server
hardware architecture. ECS Bare Metal Instance can seamlessly connect with other Alibaba
Cloud services for storage, networking, and database tasks and is fully compatible
with ECS images. These properties allow you to build resources to suit your business
requirements.
When you use ECS Bare Metal Instance, take note of the following items:
- ECS bare metal instances do not support instance type changes.
- ECS bare metal instances support failover. If the physical machine that hosts an ECS
bare metal instance fails, the instance is failed over and the data of the instance
is retained in its disks.
Benefits
ECS Bare Metal Instance provides the following benefits based on technological innovations:
- Exclusive computing resources
ECS Bare Metal Instance is a cloud-based elastic computing service that provides the
same performance and resource isolation capabilities as physical machines. It can
ensure the exclusive use of computing resources without virtualization overheads or
performance loss. ECS Bare Metal Instance supports high clock speeds and configurations
of 8, 32, 80, 96, and 104 vCPUs. An ECS bare metal instance that has eight vCPUs can
have a clock speed from 3.7 GHz to 4.1 GHz and provide better performance and faster
response for gaming and finance scenarios than competing products.
- Chip-level security
In addition to physical isolation, ECS Bare Metal Instance uses a chip-level trusted
execution environment of Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) to ensure that encrypted data can be computed only
in a secure and trusted environment. This chip-level hardware security protection
provides security protection for your data in the cloud and allows you to control
all data encryption and key protection processes. For more information, see Install SGX.
- Compatibility with multiple private clouds
ECS Bare Metal Instance can address high-performance computing needs and help you
construct hybrid clouds. Thanks to the flexibility, elasticity, and other strengths
inherited from the mix of physical and virtual machines, ECS Bare Metal Instance can
implement re-virtualization and allow local private clouds to seamlessly migrate to
Alibaba Cloud without performance overheads arising from nested virtualization. This
provides you a new method to move business to the cloud.
- Support for heterogeneous instruction set processors
ECS Bare Metal Instance uses the virtualization 2.0 technology developed by Alibaba
Cloud and supports instruction set processors such as Advanced RISC Machine (ARM).
Comparison of ECS bare metal instances, physical machines, and virtual machines
An ECS bare metal instance delivers better performance than a physical machine that
has the same configurations. During the yearly Double 11 sales event, ECS bare metal
instances deliver robust computing capabilities with millions of vCPUs to handle spikes
in traffic.
The following table compares the features of ECS bare metal instances, physical machines,
and virtual machines. In this table, Y means supported, N means not supported, and

- Ampere® Altra® processors have specific requirements on the kernels of operating systems. Instances
of this instance type can use Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 images and CentOS 8.4 or later
images. We recommend that you use Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 images on the instances. If
you want to use another operating system distribution, patch the kernel of an instance
that runs an operating system of that distribution, create a custom image from the
instance, and then use the custom image to create instances of this instance type.
