ApsaraDB RDS:Default read weight allocation rules

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

When you configure a database proxy endpoint with automatic weight allocation, ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL assigns each read-only instance a read weight based on its instance type. Weights determine the proportion of read traffic each instance receives — an instance with weight 800 receives twice the read traffic of an instance with weight 400.

The following tables list the default weights by instance type.
