Server Description
A dedicated four-core virtual server with a minimal memory footprint, designed for lightweight and budget-conscious CPU-bound workloads.
Alibaba Cloud ecs.s3.medium is an x86_64 virtual server running on the KVM hypervisor, featuring 4 dedicated vCPUs across 4 physical cores with no hyperthreading. It is equipped with 4.0 GB of RAM, establishing a low 1:1 GB memory-to-CPU ratio. The instance does not include local storage, GPUs, or complimentary public IPv4 addresses. Notably, advanced CPU instruction sets such as AVX, AVX-512, AMX, and AES are unavailable on this hardware profile. This resource configuration makes the instance a cost-efficient option for workloads that require dedicated CPU cores but have very low memory requirements. It is best suited for lightweight, multi-threaded applications, basic web serving, and simple microservices.
