Tencent Cloud Server’s instance specifications are divided into various types, namely standard, memory, computing, high IO, big data, etc. Novice webmasters want to buy a CVM cloud server, but they don’t know how to choose the standard. Type or computing type, I specifically checked the official documents of Tencent Cloud and shared them to facilitate everyone's choice:
The difference between Tencent Cloud Server standard type and computing type
simply put:
- Standard instance: It is a balance of computing, memory and network resources, which can meet the application resource requirements in most scenarios. It is recommended for small and medium-sized Web applications and small and medium-sized databases;
- Computing instances: have the highest single-core computing performance. Suitable for computing-intensive applications such as batch processing, high-performance computing, and large game servers.
As the name suggests, standard cloud servers are instances with balanced CPU, memory, and network performance and are suitable for general scenarios; while computing instances have high CPU computing performance and are more suitable for computing-intensive application scenarios such as batch processing. You can refer to Tencent Cloud official documentation: Summary table of CVM cloud server strength specifications .
Detailed explanation of standard S2/S3 and computational C3 examples
There are two options for standard instances in this promotion, namely standard S1 core and standard S2 core; the computing type only has C3 instances. The host tutorial website will explain in detail:
Standard S2:
Standard S2 instances use Intel® Xeon® Broadwell processors, with integer and floating-point computing performance improved by 40% compared to standard S1 instances; paired with DDR4 memory, performance is improved by 30%;
Standard S2 instances can be used in the following scenarios:
Used for small and medium-sized databases and data processing tasks that require additional memory, as well as cache clusters, and also for back-end servers running SAP, Microsoft SharePoint, cluster computing, and other enterprise applications.
Standard S3:
The standard S3 instance uses the new Xeon® processor Skylake, with performance improved by 30% compared to the standard S2 instance; the memory uses the latest DDR4, with performance improved by 60%; the maximum intranet bandwidth can support 10Gbps;
Standard S3 instances can be used in the following scenarios:
Enterprise-level applications of all types and sizes Small and medium-sized database systems, caching, search clusters, computing clusters, memory-dependent data processing
Computational C3:
The computing C3 instance uses a 3.2GHz Intel Xeon® Skylake 6146 processor, the memory uses the latest DDR4, and the maximum intranet bandwidth can support 10Gbps.
Applicable scenarios for computing C3 instances:
Batch processing workloads, high-performance computing (HPC), high-traffic web front-end servers, massive multiplayer online (MMO) game servers and other computing-intensive services
Tencent Cloud CVM cloud server specifications include not only standard and computing types, but also big data,For specifications such as batch computing type, memory type, Blackstone physical server, etc., directly refer to the official document: CVM cloud server strength specification summary table is accurate.
