Since the performance of different instance types on different platforms varies greatly, especially CPU and Hard Disk, the above system configuration guidance is only a reference suggestion. Please make adjustments according to the actual system resource usage. It is recommended to use high-performance CPU models and Hard Disk types as much as possible. SSD is recommended, which will greatly help improve performance. |
