An Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) is a cloud server that consists of vCPUs, memory, Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disks, and other required resources. ECSs allow for on-demand allocation and elastic scaling. The ECS service works with the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Cloud Server Backup Service (CSBS) services to build an efficient, reliable, and secure computing environment for your data and applications. The resources used by ECSs, including vCPUs and memory, are hardware resources that are consolidated using the virtualization technology. When creating an ECS, you can customize the number of vCPUs, memory size, image type, and login authentication mode. After an ECS is created, you can use it like using your local computer or physical server. ECSs provide you with relatively inexpensive compute and storage resources on demand. A unified management platform simplifies management and maintenance, enabling you to focus on services.
