Instance Size

Overview

Database instance size can be selected to meet your requirements. Instance size defines vCPU count and memory.

Available instance sizes are topology-specific and region-specific.

All database nodes within a service use the same instance size.

For information about how to choose an instance size with the SkySQL DBaaS API, see "Instance Size Selections with the SkySQL DBaaS API".
