ECS Flexible purpose launched in EU-DE

We are excited to announce the launch of new Flexible purpose instances, known as "x-flavors," offering significant price reductions and enhanced flexibility for your cloud workloads. With these new ECS instance types, you can now save between to 30 - 40% compared to traditional compute flavors, all while maintaining the same high standards of reliability and security.

Flexible purpose instances are available exclusively in elastic, pay-as-you-use mode, with no time restrictions on usage. Once launched, these instances remain available until they are intentionally deleted. The new x1 and x1e flavors support both Open Linux and Windows operating systems and are offered in configurations ranging from 2 - 12 vCPUs, including optimized options not previously available, such as three and six vCPU variants.

Key Features and benefits

  • Significant Cost Savings: Save up to 40% compared to traditional flavors, with no compromise on performance or reliability.
  • Flexible Usage: Instances are billed only for actual usage, with no minimum commitment or time limit.
  • Seamless Integration: Flexible flavors can be managed via the Console, API, or Terraform, and support easy migration from and to other ECS flavor families.
  • Enterprise-Grade compute power: Covered by the OTC SLA and Enterprise Agreement as standard instances, ensuring robust security and reliability.
  • Optimized Configurations: New vCPU and RAM combinations allow for more precise resource allocation tailored to specific workload requirements.

Flexible purpose instances are particularly well-suited for:

  • Batch Processing: Large-scale data processing, report generation, ETL jobs, and video encoding.
  • Big Data Analytics: Running analytics on platforms like Hadoop or Spark, especially with Data Warehouse Service (DWS) and Data Lake Insight (DLI).
  • CI/CD Pipelines & Development Systems: Supporting continuous integration, deployment, and non-production environments.
  • Plannable & Recurring Peak Loads: Handling dynamic or scheduled workloads that exceed normal capacity, such as rendering or additional ETL tasks.


How it works:
Flexible purpose instances are registered in the ECS Service and can be created and managed just like other ECS instances. They support resizing and migration from existing general-purpose or compute-optimized families, making it easy to switch and start saving immediately. Backups can be done using Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) and the entire system can be protected with the Host Security Service (HSS). Try them now!
