Compared with the cloud server CVM , the lightweight application server TencentCloud Lighthouse focuses more on user groups such as small and medium-sized enterprises, developers, cloud computing beginners, and students. Compared with cloud server CVM, it is simpler and easier to use. It simplifies the high-level concepts and functions of cloud server CVM. It provides high-bandwidth traffic packages and sells basic cloud resources as a whole in the form of cost-effective packages. It integrates and packages popular open source software to achieve one-click construction. Applications are more suitable for supporting small and medium-sized websites, web applications, blogs, forums, mini programs/mini games, e-commerce, cloud disks/image beds, cloud development testing and learning environments, etc. with light weight, medium to low load and moderate traffic volume. application scenarios.
illustrate
- 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.
- Compared with the standard cloud server CVM of the same specifications , the CPU and memory performance of the lightweight application server are at the same level.
Please refer to the following table for the main differences and advantages of lightweight application servers compared to cloud server CVM:
- Compared with cloud server CVM, the main functional limitations of lightweight application servers include: Instances support overall upgrade of configuration (computing, storage, and network) in package units, but do not support downgrading packages.
- Lightweight application servers also have certain limitations on intranet connectivity.
- The cloud disk of the lightweight application server and the cloud disk of the cloud server CVM are independent of each other. The cloud disk of the lightweight application server can only be mounted to the lightweight application server instance and cannot be mounted to the cloud server CVM.
If you need to use more abundant instance types, such as memory-optimized, high IO, big data, bare metal, GPU/FPGA heterogeneous computing, etc., they support high-concurrency websites, video codecs, large-scale games, and complex distribution For business scenarios such as cluster applications, please use the cloud server CVM product. For details, please refer to the cloud server-instance specifications .
Compare with other products
TencentCloud Lighthouse is a new generation of cloud server for lightweight application scenarios. It has multiple advantages over traditional virtual private servers (VPS) and virtual hosting (Virtual Hosting).
illustrate:
Virtual Private Server (VPS): Using server virtualization technology, a single physical server is divided into multiple virtual servers. Each VPS server can have an independent IP address. Users have complete administrator rights on the VPS server and can configure the server, install software, etc. as needed.
Virtual Hosting: Also known as Shared Web Hosting, multiple websites share the same physical server (or share a cloud server, called cloud virtual host) at the bottom layer, using Web Server (such as Apache, etc.) Supports multiple websites. The server is pre-installed with the website running environment and database, and multiple websites hosted on the same server share the database, network bandwidth and storage. Each user has individual FTP permissions and can upload web files to their own directory space. Users do not have permission to log in to the server's backend operating system and can only use virtual hosts to build websites.
