This topic describes the node specifications and disk types that are supported by Alibaba Cloud Elasticsearch (ES). You can refer to this information when you purchase an Alibaba Cloud ES or Logstash instance by calling an API.
Node specifications for ES instances
CPU type | Family | Instance type | vCPU and memory |
Intel | Disk-based (1:2 family) | elasticsearch.n4.small Note No longer available for purchase. | 1 vCPU and 2 GiB of memory |
elasticsearch.sn1ne.large | 2 vCPUs and 4 GiB of memory | ||
elasticsearch.sn1ne.2xlarge Note Supported only in some regions. The specifications on the buy page prevail. | 8 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory | ||
elasticsearch.sn1ne.4xlarge Note Supported only in some regions. The specifications on the buy page prevail. | 16 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory | ||
Disk-based (1:4 family) | elasticsearch.sn2ne.large | 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB of memory | |
elasticsearch.sn2ne.xlarge | 4 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory | ||
elasticsearch.sn2ne.2xlarge | 8 vCPUs and 32 GiB of memory | ||
elasticsearch.sn2ne.4xlarge | 16 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory | ||
Disk-based (1:8 family) | elasticsearch.r5.2xlarge Note Supported only in some regions. The specifications on the buy page prevail. | 8 vCPUs and 64 GiB of memory |
The instance type with 1 vCPU and 2 GiB of memory is no longer available for purchase. This instance type is suitable only for test scenarios and is not applicable to production environments. This instance type is not covered by the Service-Level Agreement (SLA). We recommend that you upgrade low-specification instance types to high-specification instance types at your earliest convenience.
