s390x dedicated host profiles

A dedicated host profile is a combination of attributes, such as the number of vCPUs, amount of RAM, and optionally instance storage that define the amount of compute capacity that is provided in a host that is provisioned exclusively for your use.

For more information about dedicated host profiles for x86 processor architecture, see x86-64 dedicated host profiles.

For Wazi as a Service, dedicated hosts are currently available in the Spain (Madrid) and US South (Dallas) region only.

The following profile families are available:

Dedicated host family selections
Families Description
Memory Best for memory intensive processes, such as memory caching, intensive database applications, or in-memory analytics workloads. Memory profiles offer vCPU to memory ratios with 1 vCPU to 8 GiB of RAM. Memory profiles are offered with and without instance storage.

Memory

The Memory profile is best for memory intensive workloads, such as large caching workloads, intensive database applications, or in-memory analytics workloads. The Memory with instance storage profile is best for memory intensive workloads, such as large caching workloads, intensive database applications, or in-memory analytics workloads.

The following Memory profile is available for dedicated hosts.

Dedicated hosts have a network performance cap of 80 Gbps. Instances that are created on the host share bandwidth across the instances.
