ecs.u2i-c1m1.xlarge by Alibaba Cloud

A dedicated four-core Intel Xeon server with a compact memory footprint, designed for lightweight, CPU-bound utility workloads.

Alibaba Cloud ecs.u2i-c1m1.xlarge is an x86_64 server instance featuring 4 dedicated Intel Xeon physical cores running at 2.7 GHz on a KVM hypervisor. It is configured with 4.0 GB of system memory, establishing a 1.0 GB per core ratio, and does not include local storage or GPU hardware. The instance provides a baseline network bandwidth of 3 Gbps. Because the CPU allocation is dedicated, it delivers stable processing performance without the variability of burstable models, though the low memory-to-vCPU ratio presents a significant constraint for memory-heavy applications. This profile is qualitatively cost-efficient for lightweight, CPU-bound tasks such as basic web serving, microservices, and simple batch processing.
