How many vCPUs and how much memory does B20ms have?
B20ms has 20 vCPUs and 80 GiB of memory (4 GiB per vCPU), running on Intel Xeon. It is a general purpose VM size in the Bs family with a burstable (shared) CPU.
What are the equivalents of B20ms on other clouds?
The closest matches by vCPU, memory, CPU architecture and instance class are on AWS, m5ad.4xlarge (16 vCPU, 64 GiB, $0.824/hour in US East (N. Virginia)); on Google Cloud, c3-standard-22-lssd (22 vCPU, 88 GiB, $1.273/hour in Iowa); on Akamai, Linode 96GB (20 vCPU, 96 GiB, $0.864/hour in Newark, NJ); on Vultr, vc2-24c-96gb (24 vCPU, 96 GiB, $0.877/hour in Johannesburg).
Is B20ms burstable?
Yes. B20ms shares physical CPU cores and is designed for workloads that are idle most of the time and occasionally need full CPU. Sustained high CPU use can be throttled or cost extra, so pick a general purpose size with dedicated vCPUs for steady load.
