Cloud server is widely used, that can be used independently as a simple web server, or used together with other cloud products to deliver advanced multimedia solutions.
The following are typical scenarios of cloud server.
A new website has low traffic and requires only a low-configuration cloud server to run web applications, host databases, and store files. As your website develops, you can upgrade the cloud server configurations or add cloud server at any time to provision sufficient resources for handling traffic spikes.
Cloud server can be used with Object Storage Service (OSS) to store static images, videos, or downloaded packages to reduce storage costs. In addition, ECC can work with Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Server Load Balancer (SLB) to shorten waiting time, reduce public bandwidth costs, and improve service availability.
Cloud server supports databases with high I/O requirements. A high-configuration I/O optimized ECC instance can be used with SSDs to achieve high I/O concurrency and higher data reliability. Alternatively, multiple lower-configuration I/O optimized ECC instances deliver a high availability architecture.
Some applications, like 12306 website and so on, may experience sharp traffic fluctuations within a short period of time. In this situation, it can meet the changing resource requirements at a low cost. ECC can also work with server load balancer to deliver a high availability architecture.
