Advantages of Tencent Cloud Lightweight Application Server
Tencent Cloud's lightweight application server is currently the hottest seller. Lightweight has super high cost performance, high CPU memory bandwidth configuration, BGP multi-line high-speed network, free snapshots, and fast application building, etc.:
1. Fee
A lightweight application server is more suitable than a cloud server CVM . With the same CPU memory bandwidth configuration, a lightweight application server should not be too cheap. The lightweight application server configuration table compiled by Tencent Cloud Server Network, for reference:
- 2-core 2G3M bandwidth, 200GB monthly traffic, 40GB SSD cloud hard disk, 95 yuan for 1 year
- 2-core 2G4M bandwidth, 300GB monthly traffic, 50GB SSD cloud hard disk, 112 yuan for one year, 396 yuan for three years
- 2-core 4G5M bandwidth, 500GB monthly traffic, 60GB SSD cloud hard disk, 168 yuan for one year, 628 yuan for 3 years
- 4-core 8G12M bandwidth, 2000GB monthly traffic, 180GB SSD cloud hard disk, 446 yuan for one year, 518 yuan for 18 months
- 8-core 16G18M bandwidth, 3500GB monthly traffic, 270GB SSD cloud hard disk, 1668 yuan for 18 months
- 16-core 32G28M bandwidth, 6000GB monthly traffic, 380GB SSD cloud hard disk, 3468 yuan for 18 months
2. Large bandwidth
The public network bandwidth of the lightweight application server starts from 3M, and it is almost possible to obtain a public network bandwidth of more than 10M. For example, the lightweight application server has a 4-core 8G configuration and comes with a 12M public network bandwidth. It costs 446 yuan a year, and you can buy it for 518 yuan. 15 months, but if it is a cloud server CVM, the 12M bandwidth alone will cost 745 yuan a month, as shown below:
Tencent cloud server CVM bandwidth is expensive
To sum up, the lightweight application server has large bandwidth and low cost . The public network bandwidth of the lightweight server listed above is in mainland China such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou. If it is in overseas regions such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan, the lightweight server All started with 30M bandwidth. But light weight is limited to monthly traffic, which will be discussed later.
3. CPU memory computing performance is guaranteed
Some students think that the cheapness of lightweight servers must be due to poor CPU and memory performance. Tencent Cloud Server Network deliberately read the official documents on this point. The official has clearly stated:
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.
As shown below:
Lightweight server CPU memory performance is at the same level as standard CVM
As shown in the figure above, the CPU and memory performance of the lightweight server is at the same level as that of the standard CVM , so you don't have to worry about the CPU and memory performance of the lightweight application server.
4. All series are equipped with SSD system disk as standard
Cloud disks of Tencent Cloud are divided into five types of CBS volumes: high-performance cloud disks, general-purpose SSD cloud disks, SSD cloud disks, enhanced SSD cloud disks, and ultra-fast SSD cloud disks. The system disks of lightweight application servers all use Tencent Cloud SSD cloud hard disk , the bottom layer is based on all NVMe SSD storage media, adopts a three-copy distributed mechanism, and provides storage services with low latency, high random IOPS, high throughput I/O capabilities and data security up to 99.9999999%.

5. Intranet bandwidth and public network inbound bandwidth are free
Both the internal network bandwidth and the inbound bandwidth of the public network of the lightweight application server are free, and only the outbound bandwidth of the public network of the lightweight server is billed. Because the monthly traffic of the lightweight application server is limited, the Tencent Cloud system only counts public Outbound traffic, intranet traffic, and public network inbound traffic are not billed.
6. Free snapshot
A lightweight application server can create two snapshots for free, which can be used to back up data on the server.
7. Intranet bandwidth capability
Intranet bandwidth capability refers to the maximum amount of data (bit) that can be transmitted per second on the instance intranet, which is related to the instance package. The intranet bandwidth capacity (Gbps) of the instance package of the lightweight application server with CPU 8 cores and below is not less than 1.5Gbps, and the intranet bandwidth capacity (Gbps) of the CPU 16-core instance package is not less than 2Gbps.
8. Multi-line BGP and CN2 high-speed network
The lightweight server in mainland China adopts multi-line BGP to ensure lower network delay and fast access between regions. The overseas region of lightweight server adopts China Telecom CN2 high-speed network and direct connection to mainland China.
9. Through the application template, you can quickly deploy the required application with one click
The lightweight application server supports multiple application template images, such as Pagoda Linux panel, WordPress, Pagoda Windows panel, ASP.NET, K3s, Node.js, LAMP, etc., as shown in the following figure:

Disadvantages of lightweight application servers
Lightweight application server configuration is high and cost is low, why is it cheap? Lightweight definitely has its limitations. The typical disadvantage is the limitation of monthly traffic. The details are as follows:
1. Limit monthly traffic
Lightweight application servers are sold in the form of packages, and each package has a corresponding monthly data package limit, as shown in the following figure:
Tencent Cloud Lightweight Server monthly traffic package limit
The traffic generated in the monthly data package of the package is free, and the traffic exceeding the monthly data package is charged. The unit price of the light server is different in different regions, as shown in the following table:
| region | Tencent Cloud Encyclopedia (yuan/GB) |
|---|---|
| Mainland China, Singapore, Tokyo, Frankfurt, Seoul, Jakarta | 0.8 |
| China Hong Kong | 1.0 |
| Mumbai | 0.58 |
| Silicon Valley, Toronto | 0.5 |
Some students feel traffic anxiety when they see the monthly data package limit. In fact, you don’t need to worry. Tencent Cloud only counts the outbound traffic of the public network. The traffic generated by the internal network and the traffic generated by the public network in the direction are free of charge. ,As shown below:

2. Does not support specified CPU
The lightweight application server does not support specifying the CPU model, as detailed in the official document: When creating a lightweight application server, it does not support specifying the CPU model of the underlying physical server. Tencent Cloud will randomly assign a physical CPU model that meets the package specifications, and usually prefers the newer one. Generation CPU model. As shown below:
Lightweight server CPUs usually prefer newer generation CPU models

3. Intranet connectivity restrictions
Lightweight application servers are generally suitable for stand-alone applications, and do not support the designation of a custom private network VPC. Lightweight application servers cannot be connected to internal networks such as load balancing and cloud databases to build cluster applications. However, currently lightweight application servers also provide lightweight databases and lightweight object storage COS.
4. Lightweight replacement of public network IP address restrictions
Tencent Cloud Lightweight Application Server supports changing the public IP address, but it can only be changed once. For IP replacement, refer to: Tutorial for Changing the Lightweight Public Network IP
5. Unable to configure EIP
Cloud server CVM can be bound to EIP, but lightweight application server cannot be bound to elastic public network EIP. Detailed reference: txyfwq.com/go/eip
6. Restrictions on upgrading and upgrading allocations
The lightweight application server cannot upgrade the CPU, intranet, and bandwidth configurations individually. To upgrade, it can only be upgraded to a package with a higher configuration, and the lightweight application server does not support downgrades. It can only be upgraded but not downgraded, and only the entire package can be upgraded as a whole.
7. Single billing mode
The cloud server CVM supports multiple billing modes, such as subscription, pay-as-you-go, and bidding instance, but the lightweight application server only supports the subscription billing mode, and can only be purchased for one month, several months or one year at a time. or years, does not support pay-as-you-go.
The above is a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of Tencent Cloud's lightweight application server shared by Tencent Cloud Server Network. Overall, the performance of the lightweight application server is very good, and the cost performance is super high. If it is an individual developer or a small and medium-sized enterprise, it is used to build a stand-alone class Applications, such as enterprise official website, APP backend server, applet backend server, cross-border e-commerce, private cloud disk, test environment, cloud learning and training and other lightweight applications, can choose lightweight application servers.
