ecs.u2i-c1m2.2xlarge by Alibaba Cloud

A dedicated eight-core Intel Xeon instance with a compute-optimized memory ratio and five gigabits per second baseline network bandwidth.

Alibaba Cloud ecs.u2i-c1m2.2xlarge is an x86_64 virtual machine instance running on the KVM hypervisor. It is equipped with 8 dedicated Intel Xeon physical cores operating at 2.7 GHz with a single thread per core configuration. The instance features 16.0 GB of system memory, establishing a compute-focused 1:2 memory-to-CPU ratio of 2.0 GB per core. It does not include local storage or complimentary public IPv4 addresses, but provides a baseline network bandwidth of 5 Gbps. Lacking integrated GPUs, this instance is designed for non-accelerated, compute-heavy workloads. The dedicated CPU allocation makes it qualitatively cost-efficient for tasks requiring consistent processing power without the premium of high-capacity memory. It is suited for batch processing, web serving, and CI/CD pipelines.
