The instance types you mentioned, ecs.t6-c1m1.large and ecs.s6-c1m2.large, are Alibaba Cloud ECS (Elastic Compute Service) instances. Here’s a breakdown of their specifications and typical use cases:
1. ecs.t6-c1m1.large
- Family: t6 (Burstable Performance Instance)
- vCPUs: 1 core
- Memory: 1 GiB
- Network Performance: Low to moderate (suitable for lightweight workloads)
- Burstable CPU: Uses CPU credits for bursts, ideal for applications with intermittent usage (e.g., dev/test, microservices, small websites).
- Cost-Effective: Cheaper than non-burstable instances but may throttle under sustained high CPU usage.
2. ecs.s6-c1m2.large
- Family: s6 (Shared Compute Instance, 6th Gen)
- vCPUs: 1 core
- Memory: 2 GiB
- Network Performance: Moderate (better than t6 for consistent workloads)
- Non-Burstable: Provides steady CPU performance without credits.
- Use Case: Lightweight production workloads, small databases, or applications needing more memory than t6.
Key Differences:
| Feature | t6-c1m1.large | s6-c1m2.large |
|---|---|---|
| Instance Family | Burstable (t6) | Shared (s6) |
| CPU Performance | Burstable (credits) | Consistent |
| Memory | 1 GiB | 2 GiB |
| Cost | Lower | Slightly higher |
| Best For | Dev/Test, low-traffic apps | Light production workloads |
When to Choose Which?
- Pick
t6-c1m1.largeif you need a low-cost option for intermittent workloads (e.g., staging environments, small blogs). - Pick
s6-c1m2.largeif you need stable CPU performance and more memory for consistent workloads (e.g., small APIs, databases).
