| Features | Dedicated CPU | Shared CPU | High Memory |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deploy essential compute plans in 25+ core regions across the globe. | Dedicated CPU instances deliver consistent, uninterrupted compute on high-performance, resource-intensive workloads. | Shared CPU instances provide access to cost-effective shared compute resources starting at $5 per month. | High Memory plans run memory-intensive applications on dedicated CPUs with more RAM and no extra storage or vCPUs. |
| Configure Backups to retain data with automated daily, weekly, and biweekly snapshots | Avoid noisy neighbors and leverage focused resources for compute-intensive and performance-sensitive applications. | Run development environments and general-purpose workloads with lower performance demands. | Store more data in system memory to improve application performance — ideal for caching and fast data retrieval. |
| Add essential compute nodes to managed Kubernetes clusters with LKE | CPU allocation: dedicated | CPU allocation: shared | CPU allocation: dedicated |
