Server Description
A compute-optimized instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon cores and a balanced 1:2 processor-to-memory ratio for consistent processing workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.c8i.xlarge is a compute-optimized instance utilizing the KVM hypervisor and x86_64 architecture. It is equipped with 4 dedicated vCPUs mapped to 4 physical Intel Xeon 8475B cores running at 2.7 GHz, providing a dedicated execution environment without hyperthreading. The hardware profile includes 8.0 GB of system memory, resulting in a 2.0 GB per core density. This instance does not feature local storage or GPU hardware, requiring external network-attached storage for data persistence. Network performance is defined by a baseline bandwidth of 4 Gbps. Given the 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio and dedicated CPU allocation, this server is designed for compute-intensive workloads such as web serving, batch processing, and microservices that require consistent CPU performance without massive memory footprints.
