ecs.hfc8i.large by Alibaba Cloud

A compute-optimized virtual instance featuring dedicated high-frequency processors and a balanced resource profile for lightweight CPU-bound workloads.

Alibaba Cloud ecs.hfc8i.large is a compute-optimized virtual machine instance built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor. It features a dedicated Intel Xeon 6462C processor operating at 3.3 GHz, configured with 2 physical cores and 2 vCPUs, resulting in a 1.0 thread-per-core ratio. The instance is equipped with 4.0 GB of RAM, yielding a 1:2 vCPU-to-RAM ratio, and does not include any local storage. Network performance is defined by a baseline bandwidth of 2 Gbps. Lacking local storage and high memory capacity, this instance represents a tradeoff optimized for CPU-bound tasks. It is qualitatively cost-efficient for workloads requiring dedicated, high-frequency CPU performance without large memory demands, such as lightweight web serving, microservices, and small-scale compute utilities.
