Server Description
A memory-optimized virtual server featuring dedicated physical cores and a high memory-to-vCPU ratio for caching and database workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.m2.medium is an x86_64 memory-optimized virtual server running on the KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 4 dedicated physical cores and 4 vCPUs, providing a dedicated CPU allocation with a 1.0 thread-per-core ratio. The instance features 32.0 GB of system memory, establishing a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per core. It does not include local storage or integrated GPUs, requiring external storage attachments for persistent data. This hardware profile is designed for memory-intensive workloads that do not require massive parallel compute power, making it qualitatively cost-efficient for hosting in-memory databases, caching systems, and enterprise applications requiring a stable memory footprint.
