This topic describes the specifications of Community Edition instances that use cloud disks. The specifications include the memory capacity, maximum number of connections, maximum bandwidth, and queries per second (QPS) reference value.
Instance types
The following tables list the specifications of a single shard. The overall performance of a cluster or read/write splitting instance can be calculated by using the following formula: Overall performance = Performance of a single shard × Number of shards.
The ESSDs listed in these tables are used only to support the operating of the system, such as storing logs, supporting temporary file backup, and storing Append Only Files (AOFs). They are not intended for data storage.
For more information about the differences between the direct connection mode and the proxy mode that are supported by cluster instances, see Cluster master-replica instances.
You can change the number of shards in cluster instances that use cloud disks. For more information, see Adjust the number of shards for an ApsaraDB for Redis cloud-native instance.

Notes about CPU cores
Calculation rules for bandwidth
The bandwidths in the preceding tables are the bandwidth of a single shard. The total bandwidth of a cluster instance or read/write splitting instance is the total bandwidth of all shard nodes in the instance.
The maximum bandwidth of cluster instances in proxy mode is 2,048 MB/s. After this upper limit is reached, the bandwidth does not increase even if the number of shards increases. Cluster instances in direct connection mode have no bandwidth limit.
The bandwidths apply to the upstream and downstream bandwidths. For example, if the bandwidth of an instance is 24 MB/s, the upstream and downstream bandwidths of the instance are both 24 MB/s.
The bandwidths in the preceding tables are the internal bandwidth of instances. The public bandwidth is determined by the internal bandwidth and is limited by the bandwidth of the connection between an instance and the client. We recommend that you connect to the instance over an internal network to maximize performance.
Calculation rules for connections
Parameter | Description |
Maximum number of connections |
|
Number of new connections per second | The maximum number of new connections per second refers to the number of connections that are allowed to be established per second. The following example shows how the maximum number of new connections per second affects the maximum number of connections at a specific second: For example, assume that the maximum number of new connections to an instance per second is 10,000, the maximum number of connections to the instance is 50,000, and the actual number of connections at the Nth second after the instance starts to run is 12,000. In this case, at the (N+1)th second, the maximum number of connections is 22,000. This value is calculated by using the following formula: 12,000 + 10,000. Note If the instance is connected in direct connection mode, connection performance degrades because proxy nodes are bypassed. For more information about the direct connection mode, see Enable the direct connection mode. The maximum number of new connections per second for a single data shard is 2,000. For example, if an instance has four data shards, the maximum number of new connections per second for the instance is 8,000. |
FAQ
Q: Why is the actual bandwidth of my instance different from that described in this topic?
A: The bandwidths of specific instance types may be adjusted after the service is upgraded. If the bandwidth of your instance is different from that described in this topic, change your instance specifications to update the bandwidth. Make sure that you select the same instance type when you change the specifications. For more information, see Change the configurations of an instance.
