ecs.r9i.2xlarge by Alibaba Cloud

A memory-optimized virtual instance featuring dedicated Intel Xeon processors and high memory density for demanding database and caching workloads.

Alibaba Cloud ecs.r9i.2xlarge is a memory-optimized instance featuring 8 dedicated vCPUs and 64.0 GB of RAM, delivering an 8.0 GB memory-per-core ratio. Powered by an Intel Xeon 6982P-C processor running at 3.2 GHz on the x86_64 architecture, this KVM-based instance provides dedicated compute resources with a 1.0 thread-per-core configuration. It does not include local storage, relying instead on network-attached storage, and offers a baseline network bandwidth of 6 Gbps. The high memory density relative to compute resources makes this instance a qualitatively cost-effective choice for memory-bound workloads. It is well-suited for in-memory databases, caching layers, enterprise applications, and data processing tasks that demand consistent memory performance without requiring high-density GPU acceleration or local NVMe storage.
