How many vCPUs and how much memory does B2s v2 have?
B2s v2 has 2 vCPUs and 8 GiB of memory (4 GiB per vCPU), running on Intel Xeon Platinum 8370C (Ice Lake). It is a general purpose VM size in the Bsv2 family with a burstable (shared) CPU.
What are the equivalents of B2s v2 on other clouds?
The closest matches by vCPU, memory, CPU architecture and instance class are on AWS, t3a.large (2 vCPU, 8 GiB, $0.0752/hour in US East (N. Virginia)); on Google Cloud, e2-standard-2 (2 vCPU, 8 GiB, $0.067/hour in Iowa); on Akamai, G8 Dedicated 8x2 (2 vCPU, 8 GiB, $0.11/hour in Newark, NJ); on Vultr, vx1-g-2c-8g (2 vCPU, 8 GiB, $0.06/hour in New Jersey).
Is B2s v2 burstable?
Yes. B2s v2 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.
