However, business performance significantly varies between server platforms. If your business requires performance consistency, we recommend that you use g7, c7, or r7 instances.
Storage:
Is an instance family in which all instances are I/O optimized.
Supports enhanced SSDs (ESSDs), ESSD Entry disks, and ESSD AutoPL disks.
Network:
Supports IPv4 and IPv6.
Supports only virtual private clouds (VPCs).
Provides high network performance based on large computing capacity.
Supported scenarios:
Small and medium-sized enterprise-level applications
Websites and application servers
Data analytics and computing
Small and medium-sized database systems, caches, and search clusters

Intel Ice Lake supports only remote attestation based on Intel Software Guard Extensions Data Center Attestation Primitives (Intel SGX DCAP) and does not support remote attestation based on Intel Enhanced Privacy ID (EPID). You must adapt applications before you can use the remote attestation feature. For more information about remote attestation, see Strengthen Enclave Trust with Attestation.
Intel SGX depends on host hardware. This instance family does not support hot migration.
Operations, such as changing instance types and enabling the economical mode, may cause the host of an instance to change. For instances of this instance family, the host change may cause data decryption to fail. Proceed with caution.
By default, failover is disabled. You can enable failover. For more information, see Modify instance maintenance attributes. Failover causes the host of an instance to change. For instances of this instance family, the host change may cause data decryption to fail. Proceed with caution.
When you create a security-enhanced instance, you must select a dedicated image to use the security features. For more information, see Create a trusted instance.

r7t, security-enhanced memory-optimized instance family
Introduction:
This instance family supports up to 512 GiB of encrypted memory and confidential computing based on Intel® SGX to protect the confidentiality and integrity of essential code and data from malware attacks.
This instance family supports vSGX and allows you to select instance types that meet your business requirements.
ImportantIf you use keys (such as SGX sealing keys) that are bound to hardware to encrypt the data of an instance within an Intel SGX enclave, the encrypted data cannot be decrypted after the host of the instance is changed. We recommend that you perform data redundancy and backup at the application layer to ensure application reliability.

re6p, persistent memory-optimized instance family
For answers to commonly asked questions about persistent memory-optimized instances, see Instance FAQ.
Features:
Introduction:
This instance family uses Intel® OptaneTM persistent memory.
ImportantThe reliability of data stored in persistent memory varies based on the reliability of persistent memory devices and the physical servers to which these devices are attached. Risks of single points of failure exist. To ensure the reliability of application data, we recommend that you implement data redundancy at the application layer and use cloud disks for long-term data storage.
This instance family allows persistent memory to be used as memory or as local SSDs on instances of some instance types.
NoteFor more information, see Configure the usage mode of persistent memory.
This instance family provides the ecs.re6p-redis.<nx>large instance types for Redis applications.
Noteecs.re6p-redis.<nx>large instance types are exclusively provided for Redis applications. Persistent memory on instances of these instance types is used as memory by default and cannot be re-configured as local SSDs. For information about how to deploy a Redis application, see Deploy Redis on persistent memory-optimized instances.

Application acceleration (Booster):
If you select Application Acceleration and applications when you purchase YiTian processor-powered instances (YiTian instances), the selected applications are automatically deployed on the YiTian instances and are individually performance-tuned by KeenTune.
KeenTune is a full-stack operating system tuning software powered by a knowledge base that collects knowledge and experience from experts across multiple fields in Alibaba Cloud. KeenTune provides full-stack performance tuning for YiTian instances in terms of CPUs, memory, I/O, and networks based on the instance characteristics and helps tune applications to optimize the runtime for your business.
Full-stack performance tuning for application acceleration maximizes the performance benefits of YiTian instances and improves performance by approximately 20% on the average in typical scenarios, such as the use of MySQL, NGINX, Redis, and PostgreSQL. This helps reduce costs and increase efficiency.
If you do not want to use the application acceleration feature after you purchase an instance, you can run the
/tmp/keentune_remove.shcommand on the instance to uninstall KeenTune and relevant applications. For more information about KeenTune, see KeenTune.
