Two new families of Instance types are now generally available to all Exoscale customers: CPU Optimized and Memory Optimized Instance Types offer a specialized mix of memory and dedicated CPU resources to boost efficiency and performance-to-cost ratio of your workloads.

CPU Optimized Instances

CPU Optimized Instances provide higher CPU-to-memory ratio than their Standard equivalent, resulting the best choice for CPU-intensive workloads like CI/CD servers, batch processing, media decoding and encoding, network appliances, and any application that requires increased computing capability.

CPU Optimized Instances come in the following configurations:

CPU Optimized RAM CPU Cores
CPU-EXTRA-LARGE 16 8
CPU-HUGE 32 16
CPU-MEGA 64 32
CPU-TITAN 128 40

While doubling the CPU allocation CPU Optimized Instances are only 25% more expensive than their Standard counterpart.

Memory Optimized Instances

Alongside CPU Optimized Instances we are also releasing four additional Memory Optimized Instances with an adapted mix of memory allocation per CPU. Compared to their Standard counterpart, Memory Optimized Instances are 25% less expensive.

Memory Optimized RAM CPU Cores
MEMORY-EXTRA-LARGE 16 2
MEMORY-HUGE 32 4
MEMORY-MEGA 64 8
MEMORY-TITAN 128 12

Memory Optimized Instances are recommended for in-memory cache services like RedisĀ® or Memcache, and are ideal for high-performance SQL or NoSQL databases.
