Elastic bare metal server specifications

Note the following when using ECS Bare Metal Instances:

• You cannot change instance specifications.

• ECS Bare Metal Instances support failover in the event of a hardware failure. Your data is retained on Cloud Disks.

• Basic CPU monitoring metrics for EBM instances are not available through standard monitoring. To obtain this data, you must install the CloudMonitor agent. For more information, see Install CloudMonitor agent.

Elastic Bare Metal Server provides key technical advantages.

• Dedicated computing resources

  Elastic Bare Metal Server provides the performance and isolation of a physical machine. You get dedicated computing resources with no virtualization overhead or feature loss. You can choose from instances with various CPU core counts, including 80, 96, 104, 128, and 192 cores.

• Confidential computing

  In addition to physical isolation, Elastic Bare Metal Server enhances data security by using a trusted execution environment (Intel^® SGX). This environment ensures that your data is processed only within a secure and trusted context. This hardware-level security acts as a vault for your cloud data, giving you full control over data encryption and key protection. For more information, see Install SGX.

• Hybrid and private cloud compatibility

  Elastic Bare Metal Server meets the demands of high-performance computing and helps you build modern hybrid clouds. It combines the flexibility of a virtual machine with the performance and features of a physical machine, enabling nested virtualization. You can seamlessly migrate your on-premises private clouds to Alibaba Cloud without the typical performance overhead of nested virtualization.

• Support for heterogeneous instruction set architectures

  Powered by Alibaba Cloud's proprietary Virtualization 2.0, Elastic Bare Metal Server supports various instruction set architectures, such as ARM.

  When you use AI training services that feature a high communication load, such as transformer models, you must enable NVLink for GPU-to-GPU communication. Otherwise, data may be damaged due to unpredictable failures that are caused by large-scale data transmission over Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) links. If you do not understand the topology of the communication links that are used for AI training services, submit a ticket to obtain technical support.

• Compute:

  • Processor: 3rd Generation Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable processors (Icelake) with a base frequency of 2.9 GHz and an all-core turbo frequency of 3.5 GHz. The processors support the PCIe 4.0 interface.

• Storage:

  • These are I/O optimized instances.

  • Supported disk types: elastic ephemeral disk, ESSDs, ESSD AutoPL disk, and Regional ESSDs. For more information, see Block Storage Overview.

• Network:

  • These instances support IPv4 and IPv6. For information about IPv6 communication, see IPv6 communication.

  • Supports physical NICs.

  • Achieves a packet forwarding rate of up to 24,000,000 pps.

  • Supports the Elastic RDMA Interface (ERI) for RDMA passthrough acceleration over a VPC network. By attaching two ERIs to an instance, you can achieve a network bandwidth of 160 Gbit/s if each ERI is connected to a different NIC index. If all ERIs are connected to the same NIC index, the instance can reach up to 100 Gbit/s. For more information, see AttachNetworkInterface.

The following table lists the specifications of the ebmgn7e instance family.

• Instance family overview:

  • ebmgn7ix is Alibaba Cloud's new Elastic Bare Metal Server instance family, designed for the growing demands of generative AI workloads. Each instance is a bare metal host equipped with eight NVIDIA A10 GPUs.

  • Powered by the latest CIPU 1.0 cloud processor, these instances decouple compute from storage, allowing you to flexibly select the storage resources you need. This design increases the bandwidth between instances to 160 Gbit/s compared to the previous generation, accelerating data transfer and processing for small-scale multi-machine training workloads.

  • Unlike traditional virtualized instances, these bare metal instances support P2P communication between GPUs, significantly improving multi-GPU computing efficiency.

• Use cases:

  • Use GRID images from Cloud Marketplace to unlock the A10 GPU's graphics capabilities for high-performance graphics processing in animation, film and television special effects production, and rendering.

  • Use ACK for efficient and cost-effective container management to support AIGC graphics generation and LLM inference on models with up to 130 billion parameters.

  • Other general AI workloads, such as image and speech recognition.

• Compute:

  • These instances are equipped with NVIDIA A10 GPUs:

    • Based on the innovative Ampere architecture.

    • Supports common acceleration features, including vGPU, RTX, and TensorRT.

  • Processor: Intel^® Xeon^® Scalable processor (Ice Lake) with a 2.9 GHz base frequency and a 3.5 GHz all-core turbo frequency.

• Storage:

  • These are I/O optimized instances.

  • Supported cloud disk types: ESSD cloud disks, ESSD AutoPL cloud disks, and ESSD Zone-Redundant cloud disks. For more information, see Block storage overview.

• Network:
