Instance Type | Description |
General | A general instance exclusively uses the allocated memory and disk resources and shares the CPU resources with other general instances on the same physical machine. A general instance benefits from higher specifications at a lower cost by sharing CPU resources. A general instance's disk capacity is unaffected by its CPU and memory specs. |
Dedicated | A dedicated instance has exclusive access to the CPU, memory, and disk resources (if CPU pinning is enabled). It has long-term stability and is unaffected by the activities of other instances on the physical machine. A dedicated instance with the highest configurations can monopolize a physical machine and all of its resources. |
