What is Tencent Cloud Lightweight Application Server? What are the differences between lightweight and CVM cloud servers? What is Tencent Cloud Lightweight Application Server? The lightweight application server is an out-of-the-box lightweight cloud server launched by Tencent Cloud. It is suitable for individual developers or small and medium-sized enterprises. What is the difference between Tencent Cloud lightweight server and cloud server? Why are lightweight application servers cheaper? Is it because the CPU and memory performance of the lightweight server is worse than that of the CVM of the cloud server? The lightweight application server is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or individual developers to build corporate official websites, blog forums, WeChat applets, or development and testing environments. The cloud server CVM is suitable for more complex application scenarios such as high-concurrency websites, big data computing, and machine learning. Tencent Cloud Server Network explains the differences between Tencent Cloud Lightweight Application Server and Cloud Server CVM in terms of performance testing, network bandwidth, billing mode, application construction, and suitability for users.
Tencent Cloud Lightweight Application Server is a new-generation cloud server that is quickly built, easy to manage, and cost-effective based on the cloud server CVM. Like some small and medium-sized enterprises or individual developer users, there is no need to choose a cloud server for a simple application architecture. . The biggest advantage of cloud servers over lightweight application servers is that cloud servers can build high-availability and high-disaster recovery cluster applications with instances such as load balancing and cloud databases. However, not all application scenarios require professional-grade cloud server CVM As a basis, for most light-weight application scenarios such as website web application scenarios, WeChat applet servers, cloud disks, APP client development, e-commerce applications, cloud disk image beds, etc., a lightweight application server is enough, and the focus is on cost Low. In 2bcd.com/go/tx/, there is a detailed configuration and accurate quotation form. In addition, lightweight application servers are a trend, and major cloud vendors are flocking to them. Not only Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud is the first to launch lightweight application servers. Huawei Cloud's Yunyao Cloud Server HECS is also a lightweight cloud server. Baidu Smart Cloud's lightweight application server is in beta testing.
Is there any difference in CPU performance between lightweight server and CVM cloud server? When creating a lightweight application server, it is not supported to specify the CPU model of the underlying physical server. Tencent Cloud will randomly allocate a physical CPU model that meets the package specifications, and usually prefer a newer generation CPU model. The CPU processor model and main frequency of the cloud server CVM are specified. Let's talk about the CPU processor description of lightweight and CVM in detail.
The lightweight application server CPU does not support the specified
When creating a lightweight application server, it is not supported to specify the CPU model of the underlying physical server. Tencent Cloud will randomly allocate a physical CPU model that meets the package specifications, and usually prefer a newer generation CPU model.
The processor of the cloud server CVM has a clear description
Tencent Cloud Server CVM is divided into various instance specifications, such as standard S6, standard SA3, standard SR1, standard S5, etc. CVM cloud server specifications are different, and CPU models are also different. Tencent Cloud Server Network lists these CVM instances CPU processor model:
- Standard S6: CPU adopts Intel® Xeon® Ice Lake processor, main frequency 2.7GHz, turbo frequency 3.3GHz
- Standard S5: CPU adopts Intel® Xeon® Cascade Lake or Intel® Xeon® Cooper Lake processor, main frequency 2.5GHz, turbo frequency 3.1GHz
- Standard SR1: CPU adopts Ampere ® Altra ® processor, base frequency 2.8GHz, all-core consistent maximum frequency 3.0GHz
- Standard SA3: CPU adopts 2.55GHz AMD EPYCTM Milan processor, turbo frequency 3.5GHz, equipped with the latest generation of eight-channel DDR4, stable memory computing performance

For the CPU models corresponding to different cloud server CVM types, please refer to: Cloud Server CPU Model Main Frequency Description
Is the lightweight server CPU not as good as the cloud server CVM?
Although the CPU model of the lightweight application server does not support designation, it is not that the lightweight CPU is not as good as the cloud server CVM. Compared with the standard cloud server CVM of the same specification, the CPU and memory performance of the lightweight application server are at the same level same level. Therefore, comparing a lightweight application server with a standard cloud server CVM, when creating a lightweight application server, the system usually gives priority to a newer-generation CPU model. For example, the latest standard cloud server is S6, and the next-generation cloud server For the standard S5, when creating a lightweight application server, the system usually gives priority to allocating CPU processors at the same level as the standard S5 cloud server.
Main frequency list of lightweight application server CPU models
At present, there are several lightweight application servers under the Tencent Cloud Encyclopedia account. Some CPUs use 2.5GHz Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6133 CPUs with a turbo frequency of 3.0GHz; there are also 2.4GHz Intel(R) Xeon( R) CPU E5-26xx v4 processor.
To sum up, the server CPU processor for lightweight applications does not support designation, but it is not that the CPU of lightweight servers is not as good as cloud server CVM, and the computing performance of lightweight application servers and standard cloud servers with the same configuration is at the same level. When a lightweight application server is used, the system usually prefers a newer generation CPU model.
