This topic describes all Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance families available for purchase and introduces their features, instance types, and supported scenarios to facilitate instance type selection.
Background information
Before you read further in this topic, you must be familiar with the following information:
Classification and naming of instance types. Familiarize yourself with the instance family categories, naming conventions of instance types, and differences between instance families. For more information, see Classification and naming of instance types.
Instance type metrics. For information about the metrics of instance types, see Instance type metrics. You can also call the DescribeInstanceTypeFamilies and DescribeInstanceTypes operations to query the instance families provided by ECS and the details of all instance types.
Instructions for selecting instance types based on your business scenarios. For more information, see Instance type selection.
After you determine an instance type for your use case, you may need to learn about the following information:
Regions in which the instance type is available for purchase. Instance types that are available for purchase vary based on the region. You can go to the Instance Types Available for Each Region page to view the instance types available for purchase in each region. Alternatively, you can call the DescribeRegions and DescribeZones operations to query the supported regions and the zones in a specific region.
Estimated instance costs. You can calculate the price of instances that uses different billing methods in the Price Calculator. You can also call the DescribePrice operation to query information about the most recent prices of ECS resources.
Instructions for purchasing an instance. You can go to the ECS instance buy page to place a purchase order for instances.
You may be concerned about the following information:
Retired instance families. If you cannot find an instance type in this topic, the instance type may be in a retired instance family. For information about retired instance families, see Retired instance families.
Supported instance type changes. Before you change the instance type of an instance, check whether the instance type can be changed and identify compatible instance types. For more information, see Instance types and families that support instance type changes.

g7t, security-enhanced general-purpose instance family
Introduction:
This instance family supports up to 256 GiB of encrypted memory and confidential computing based on Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) to protect the confidentiality and integrity of essential code and data from malware attacks.
This instance family supports Virtual SGX (vSGX) and allows you to select instance types based on 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.
This instance family implements trusted boot based on Trusted Cryptography Module (TCM) or Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chips. During a trusted boot, all modules in the boot chain from the underlying server to the guest operating system are measured and verified.

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 based on 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.
This instance family implements trusted boot based on TCM or TPM chips. During a trusted boot, all modules in the boot chain from the underlying server to the guest operating system are measured and verified.
This instance family offloads a large number of virtualization features to dedicated hardware by using the third-generation SHENLONG architecture to provide predictable and consistent ultra-high performance and reduce virtualization overheads.

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.
