Machine types - EU02

In the API, machine types define hardware configuration like CPUs, memory and storage capacity of computing instances. Individual adaptation of the system configurations (vCPU/RAM/OS storage) beyond the existing variants is not possible.

STACKIT will regularly check the necessity of changes to the system configuration and adjust the offer if necessary.

Ordered configurations of STACKIT instances remain in place even after any adjustments to the offer, but cannot be reordered if necessary. This means that in the event of an exemplary discontinuation of a machine type, e.g. c3i.1, existing VMs can continue to be used unchanged – but that new VMs can no longer be ordered with the machine type.

Example of a machine type name: c3i.1

The first part of the name, e.g. “c3i.1”, is the variant of a machine type. Currently, there are the following variants:

VariantDescription
tSmaller instances with smaller CPU and less RAM
sProcessor-optimized instances with a CPU/RAM-ratio of 1:1
cProcessor-optimized instances with a CPU/RAM-ratio of 1:2
gGeneral instances with a CPU/RAM-ratio of 1:4
mMemory-optimized instances with a CPU/RAM-ratio of 1:8
bLarge, memory-optimized instances with CPU/RAM-ratio of 1:16 or higher

The first number or number and letter combination in the name, e.g. “c3.1” & “c2a.8d” indicates the machine type version.

We currently offer the following versions:

Type versionCPU architectureHardware specs
c3i.1g3i.1s3i.1Intel Emerald RapidsThe hypervisors are using Intel Emerald Rapids 8580 CPUs at a base clock of 2 GHz.
m3i.1b3i.1Intel Emerald RapidsThe hypervisors are using Intel Emerald Rapids 6548Y+ CPUs at a base clock of 2,5 GHz.
c2a.1dg2a.1dAMD EPYC BergamoThe hypervisors are using AMD EPYC Rome Bergamo 9754 CPUs at a base clock of 2,25 GHz.
m2a.1dAMD EPYC BergamoThe hypervisors are using AMD EPYC Bergamo 9754 CPUs at a base clock of 2,4 GHz.

The second number in the name, e.g. “c3i.1”, stands for the amount of vCPU cores used in this machine type, this only applies to newer machine types.

The letter after the core amount “c2a.1d” is an additional information for this machine type, “d” indicates that the machine type has a CPU without overcommit.

*vCPU steal time definition from Wikipedia: amount of time the operating system wanted to execute, but was not allowed to by the hypervisor.[1] This can happen if the physical hardware runs multiple guest operating systems and the hypervisor chooses to allocate a CPU time slot to another one.
