ecs.u2a-c1m1.xlarge by Alibaba Cloud

A dedicated compute instance featuring a highly streamlined memory profile and baseline network performance for lightweight CPU-bound workloads.

Alibaba Cloud ecs.u2a-c1m1.xlarge is an x86_64 virtual server built on the KVM hypervisor, featuring 4 dedicated AMD EPYC physical cores running at 2.25 GHz. The instance is configured with 4.0 GB of RAM, establishing a low 1:1 memory-to-vCPU ratio of 1.0 GB per core. It contains no local storage and no GPU accelerators, relying entirely on external network storage. Network connectivity is defined by a baseline bandwidth of 2 Gbps, with zero complimentary public IPv4 addresses. This hardware profile presents a clear tradeoff, offering dedicated compute resources at the expense of memory capacity. Consequently, the instance is best suited for lightweight, CPU-bound workloads, batch processing, and microservices with minimal memory footprints.
