DB Instance Classes

Table 1 Instance classes

Instance Class

Description

Scenario

Constraints

General-purpose

CPU resources are shared with other general-purpose DB instances on the same physical machine. CPU usage is maximized through resource overcommitment. This instance class is a cost-effective option and suitable for scenarios where performance stability is not critical.

Suitable for scenarios that have high requirements on cost-effectiveness.

Only MySQL and PostgreSQL DB engines are supported.

Dedicated

The instance has dedicated CPU and memory resources to ensure stable performance. The performance of a dedicated instance is never affected by other instances on the same physical machine. This instance class is good when performance stability is important.

Suitable for core database scenarios such as e-commerce, gaming, finance, government, and enterprise applications.

General-enhanced

With a leading network acceleration engine and Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) fast packet processing, this instance class provides higher network performance and computing power.

Suitable for websites and web applications that require high database computing and network performance.

Only the SQL Server DB engine is supported.
