Instance specifications
Instance types for standard RDS instances
Note If an RDS instance uses clouds disks and a dedicated instance type, the maximum IOPS of the instance is calculated by using the following formula: Actual maximum IOPS = min{Maximum IOPS, IOPS that corresponds to the maximum I/O bandwidth, Cloud disk IOPS}.
The size of an I/O operation in ApsaraDB RDS for PostgreSQL is 8 KB. IOPS that corresponds to the maximum I/O bandwidth is calculated by using the following formula: IOPS that corresponds to the maximum I/O bandwidth = Maximum I/O bandwidth in MB/s × 1024/8.
For more information about how to calculate the cloud disk IOPS, see IOPS.
The maximum IOPS and maximum I/O bandwidth cannot be guaranteed for RDS instances that use cloud disks and general-purpose instance types.
