When deploying a Nubius Cloud Compute server, it’s important to select the right instance type based on your workload. Below are the available options and their ideal use cases.
Shared CPU Instances
Shared CPU instances provide cost-effective solutions where CPU power is shared among multiple virtual machines. These are ideal for applications that do not require consistent high performance.
1. High Frequency Compute
Best for: Performance-sensitive applications that require high-speed processing.
-
Features high clock-speed vCPUs for better responsiveness.
-
Includes NVMe SSD storage for fast data access.
-
Ideal for:
-
High-performance web applications.
-
Real-time analytics.
-
Game servers.
-
Low-latency applications.
-
2. Cloud Compute
Best for: General-purpose workloads that require a balance of performance and cost.
-
Affordable and versatile for most applications.
-
Great for development and staging environments.
-
Ideal for:
-
Small business websites.
-
CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress, Joomla, Drupal).
-
Lightweight applications.
-
Email servers.
-
3. High Performance Compute
Best for: Compute-intensive applications that need consistent performance.
-
Offers higher CPU power and faster processing compared to standard Cloud Compute.
-
Suitable for applications requiring higher CPU burst capacity.
-
Ideal for:
-
Medium to high-traffic web applications.
-
Application testing environments.
-
Moderate workloads that require frequent processing.
-
Dedicated CPU Instances
Dedicated CPU instances provide exclusive access to physical CPU cores, ensuring consistent performance for applications that require sustained computing power.
1. General Purpose
Best for: Balanced workloads that require a mix of CPU, memory, and storage.
-
Suitable for a wide range of applications.
-
Works well for applications that require moderate but steady CPU usage.
-
Ideal for:
-
E-commerce platforms.
-
Enterprise applications.
-
Web hosting services.
-
2. CPU Optimized
Best for: Compute-intensive workloads that rely heavily on processing power.
-
Prioritizes higher CPU performance over memory and storage.
-
Designed for applications that require continuous CPU processing.
-
Ideal for:
-
Data analytics.
-
Machine learning models.
-
Video encoding.
-
High-performance computing tasks.
-
3. Memory Optimized
Best for: Applications that require large amounts of RAM for smooth performance.
-
Provides higher RAM-to-CPU ratios.
-
Works well for applications that need fast in-memory processing.
-
Ideal for:
-
Databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, NoSQL, etc.).
-
Caching systems (Redis, Memcached).
-
Big Data processing.
-
4. Storage Optimized
Best for: Workloads that require high storage capacity and fast disk performance.
-
Designed for applications that handle large volumes of data-intensive workloads.
-
Optimized for fast read/write speeds and efficient storage management.
-
Ideal for:
-
Large-scale databases.
-
Big Data applications.
-
Data warehousing.
-
High-availability storage solutions.
-
Choosing the Right Instance Type
Selecting the right instance type depends on your specific needs:
-
If you need an affordable solution and your workload does not require continuous high CPU usage, choose Shared CPU.
-
If your application requires dedicated, consistent performance, choose Dedicated CPU.
-
If storage or memory is your primary concern, consider Storage Optimized or Memory Optimized instances.
