ApsaraDB for MongoDB:Standalone instance types

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

This topic describes the supported instance types for ApsaraDB for MongoDB standalone instances.

Notes

  • An instance's specified memory is shared among MongoDB services, the database engine, and the underlying operating system, which uses memory for the BIOS, kernel, and hypervisor. Consequently, the available memory is less than the specified amount.

  • See ESSD for the maximum IOPS and throughput of different cloud disk types.

  • Disk encryption is not supported for general-purpose instances.

Important

Exceeding the 16 TB limit for a single collection file may cause the instance to become unavailable.
