What is the difference between lightweight application servers and cloud servers? in view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and solutions in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible method.

Differences: 1. Lightweight application servers are for stand-alone applications, while CVM ECS does not impose any restrictions. 2. The scalability of lightweight application server is poor, while that of cloud server ECS is good. 3. There is basically no network expansion problem for lightweight application servers. Under the private network VPC of ECS, users can customize the private network.

Lightweight application server: a new generation of computing services for stand-alone application scenarios, providing one-click deployment, one-stop domain name resolution, website publishing, security, operation and maintenance, application management and other services. It greatly optimizes the experience of building simple applications and lowers the threshold for entry-level users to use cloud computing products.

Lightweight application servers are sold in the form of annual or monthly packages.

Package resources include:

Commonly used application images and system images selected by Aliyun

CVM computing resources, including SSD-based storage resources and network resources

Basic functions of other Aliyun products (DNS,VPC, etc.)

To put it simply, the lightweight application server is similar to the virtual host we used before. it is mainly used to deploy the website for use. unlike the virtual host, the lightweight application server is a cloud server at the bottom, and the operating system contains the running environment. Upload program can be used.

Elastic Compute Service (ECS): Aliyun provides IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)-level cloud computing services with excellent performance, stability and reliability, and elastic expansion.

It is not difficult to see from the definition that lightweight application servers are different from CVM ECS in the following aspects:

1. Usage objects: lightweight application servers are designed for stand-alone applications, while CVM ECS does not impose any restrictions.

2. Scalability: there are only a few configurations for lightweight application servers to choose from, and the upgrade is limited. ECS provides dozens of types and hundreds of configurations to choose from, and supports upgrades. At the same time, ECS supports use with other applications such as RDS and OSS.

3. Network: the object-oriented lightweight application server is stand-alone, and there is basically no problem of network expansion. Under the proprietary network VPC, users of ECS can customize the private network and interconnect with offline IDC or other cloud products through the network.

Extended data:

Lightweight application server features:

Quick launch: start your application with one click in 30 seconds

One-stop experience: domain name resolution, website publishing, server management and other operation single interface integration, one-stop function experience

Selected image: Aliyun independent research and development and selected market image dual choice, to provide you with high-quality mirror experience

Rich applications: continuously provide a variety of application functions to help you easily manage, configure and analyze applications

Features of CVM ECS:

Stability: instance availability reaches 99.95%, cloud disk adopts 99.99999999% reliability design, automatic downtime migration, automatic snapshot backup, and data recovery is more convenient

Flexibility: 1000 instances can be created at the minute level, and a variety of flexible payment options are more suitable for the current business situation, while bringing flexible capacity expansion. Instances and bandwidth can be upgraded or reduced at any time, and cloud disks can be expanded.

High security: free services such as DDoS protection, Trojan horse detection and anti-violence cracking are provided. Through multi-party international security certification, ECS cloud disk supports data encryption.

High performance: up to 88vCPU and memory 704GB for a single instance, and up to 7 million PPS network transceiver packets and 35Gbps bandwidth for a single instance

Ease of use: rich operating system and application software can be easily deployed through an image, and the environment can be quickly replicated in multiple ECS with the same image, which can be easily expanded.

Scalability: ECS can seamlessly connect with Ali Cloud's rich cloud products and provide complete computing, storage, security and other solutions for business development.

The answer to the question about the difference between lightweight application server and cloud server is shared here. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel for more related knowledge.
