Elastic Cloud Service (ECS)

Definition

  • An Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) is a cloud server that consists of vCPUs, memory, Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disks, and other required resources
  • ECSs provide you with relatively inexpensive compute and storage resources on demand

Functions

  • Customize the flavor, image, network, disk, authentication mode, and number of ECSs when creating ECSs
  • Manage the lifecycle of an ECS, including starting, stopping, restarting, and deleting an ECS
  • Expand the capacity of EVS disks attached to an ECS, attach EVS disks to an ECS, detach EVS disks from an ECS, and use shared EVS disks for an ECS

Application Scenarios

  • Simple applications or small-traffic websites
  • Multimedia making, video making, and image processing
  • Databases and other applications that require fast data exchange and processing
