ApsaraDB RDS:Instance types for primary ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server instances

Last Updated:Mar 28, 2026

This page lists instance types for primary ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server instances, covering current and historical specifications across all RDS editions.

The memory listed for each instance type includes memory consumed by RDS management services, the database engine, and the underlying operating system (BIOS-reserved memory, kernel memory, and hypervisor runtime memory). Available memory is less than the listed capacity.
RDS SQL Server instances that use cloud disks run on Elastic Compute Service (ECS). Performance may vary because different instances can use different ECS instance families.
Standard Edition Basic series instances are available only in regions outside China.

Choose an RDS edition

ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server is available in three editions. Select the tab for your edition to view its instance types.

RDS editionDeployment modelTypical use case
RDS Cluster EditionMulti-node cluster with automatic failoverProduction workloads requiring high availability and automatic failover
RDS High-availability EditionPrimary/standby with automatic failoverGeneral-purpose production databases
RDS Basic EditionSingle node, no standbyDevelopment, testing, and cost-sensitive workloads

Instance family naming conventions

Instance type names encode the CPU-to-memory ratio of the instance:

PrefixMemory-to-vCPU ratioExample
x22:1 (2 GB per vCPU)mssql.x2.medium.w1: 2 cores, 4 GB
x44:1 (4 GB per vCPU)mssql.x4.large.e2: 4 cores, 16 GB
x88:1 (8 GB per vCPU)mssql.x8.large.e2: 4 cores, 32 GB
mem2Shared, ~2:1 ratiomssql.mem2.medium.s2: 2 cores, 4 GB
mem4Shared, ~4:1 ratiomssql.mem4.medium.e2: 2 cores, 8 GB

The suffix encodes the RDS edition and SQL Server license type:

  • .e1 / .e2: Enterprise Edition (Basic / High-availability or Cluster)

  • .s1 / .s2: Standard Edition (Basic / High-availability)

  • .w1: Web Edition (Basic)

RDS Cluster Edition

Supported SQL Server versions: SQL Server 2022 Enterprise Edition, 2019 Enterprise Edition, and 2017 Enterprise Edition.

All instance types in this edition belong to the dedicated instance family.
