Server Description
A dedicated memory-optimized instance featuring an eight-to-one gigabyte-to-vCPU ratio for stable and predictable database and caching workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.m2.xlarge is a memory-optimized virtual server instance built on the x86_64 architecture and managed via the KVM hypervisor. It delivers 8 dedicated vCPUs mapped directly to 8 physical cores, operating without hyperthreading to ensure consistent and predictable compute performance. The instance is provisioned with 64.0 GB of RAM, yielding a high memory-to-core ratio of 8.0 GB per vCPU. It does not include local storage or GPU hardware, relying entirely on network-attached storage. This hardware profile is designed for memory-intensive workloads, such as database hosting, caching layers, and enterprise applications, where a stable memory-to-CPU ratio is critical for operational efficiency.
