I believe that many friends meet for the first time AliCloud server There will be a period of confusion because there are so many different types of Alibaba Cloud servers. Each type is divided into many different configurations and different names, such as the burst performance t5 instance, the shared computing n4 instance, and the computing network enhanced sn1ne instance. The corresponding configurations of each instance are also different. The model comes with a lot of configuration details, I can't understand the obscure description. How can I choose? Since we have heard too many such complaints, we wrote this article to help you understand the naming rules of Alibaba Cloud servers and how to choose different configurations/models.
1、 There are some problems with the layout of Alibaba Cloud official pages, and they are not friendly to newcomers. For example, when Wei Gang contacted Alibaba Cloud a few years ago, he wanted to buy Alibaba Cloud servers for many times. But according to the configuration page on Alibaba Cloud's official homepage>Products>ECS, it's like one head and two heads. For a novice, he doesn't understand what you want me to choose?
The configuration interface shown below is a nightmare for novices. If it weren't for this complex interface, Lao Wei would have used Alibaba Cloud servers at least a few years in advance. The designer of this page must be a programmer rather than a salesperson to design such an obscure UI. Through the contact and use in recent years, I have initially understood the doorway of Alibaba Cloud products. After seeing many friends struggling and struggling to move forward, I shared this article. I hope it can help you understand, choose the cloud products that are suitable for you, quickly go to the cloud, and share the progress brought by cloud computing.
2、 Later, officials probably noticed that this interface really "automatically blocks" a large number of novices who have just come into contact with cloud products, so Alibaba Cloud launched National cloud computing server and Lightweight application server These two types of ECS are convenient for novices to get started quickly. In particular, the latter integrates most of the functions commonly used in site building. One stop experience: domain name resolution, website publishing, server management and other single interface integration. One stop function experience. You can easily complete site building settings in one interface, which is much simpler than simple ECS, Friendly to newcomers.
1. AliCloud cloud computing for all

If you are a novice and want to use the ECS server, no problem. You can easily control the Linux server with the pagoda panel. Please move to related tutorials Pagoda Linux Panel 4. X Installation Tutorial 。
2. Alibaba Cloud lightweight application server

Novice and Xiaobai recommend using a lightweight application server, which is fast, simple and easy to use. Tutorial, please move to AliCloud lightweight application server binds and resolves domain names 。
3、 After the above advice for novices, let's talk about the naming of Alibaba Cloud servers. Judging from the names of several commonly used products, they are all named according to the characteristics of ECS.
1. For example, the name of the burst performance t5 instance is because of the 10%~15% CPU performance baseline limit, which is more suitable for use in production environments with burst performance requirements, rather than in long-term high CPU loads.
2. Shared instances include shared basic xn4 instances and shared computing n4 instances. Sharing means that the chickens under the hen compete for CPU resources, which is not 100% exclusive, so the cost performance ratio is higher.
3、 Computing network enhanced sn1ne instance It is truly 100% resource exclusive, without competition, and it is also the entry model of Alibaba Cloud enterprise class ECS. The general network enhanced sn2ne is the same, but with higher configuration and better performance.
Recently, the price of Alibaba Cloud Double 11 Grouping is very cheap. A general network enhanced instance with 5M bandwidth, 2 cores, 8G memory of 2070 yuan/3 years. The address of the Grouping is: Click me directly Go and learn about it. It's only one chance a year. It's absolutely worth it!
The configurations mentioned here all exist in AliCloud's national cloud computing. You can click the above link to see the details. As for those models with higher configurations, because ordinary businesses cannot meet the high demand, we will not do more here.
4、 How to select AliCloud ECS
1. Learning the basic knowledge of the server and testing the code will select the burst performance instance, which is economical and cost-effective. If you know how to optimize the server, you can also reduce the load. A friend saw that the burst performance instance was cheap and bought it for a long time to build a website. Later, when the CPU was limited, he said that Alibaba Cloud's routine was deceiving. The user did not understand this type of configuration in detail and rushed to start.
2. If you have a detailed understanding of Alibaba Cloud's shared instance configuration, it can be used to run just started websites, businesses, etc. The CPU allows 100% full load, and it is no problem to use it to build websites, businesses, etc., but Lao Wei will not introduce it as the first product.
3. What is really used to run websites and businesses without pressure is computing network enhanced instance 2-core 4G configuration. According to the actual measurement of Lao Wei and his friends, it is no problem to support tens of thousands of daily PV traffic. This configuration has no obvious shortcomings. It is the first Alibaba Cloud server model promoted by Lao Wei.
