Some cloud server instance types are available only in China due to regional market demands, regulatory requirements, and infrastructure optimizations. For example, certain instance types may be tailored for Chinese enterprises with specific compliance needs, such as data localization laws or industry-specific performance benchmarks. Additionally, local hardware partnerships or government incentives might influence the availability of specialized instances in China.
In China, Tencent Cloud offers instance types like the Compute-Optimized C6 and Memory-Optimized M6, which are designed for high-performance workloads and comply with local regulations. These instances leverage Tencent Cloud's domestic data centers to meet latency and security requirements.
Outside China, Tencent Cloud provides globally available instances, such as the Standard S5 or General Purpose M5, which balance performance and cost for international customers. The availability of region-specific instances ensures alignment with local market conditions while maintaining global service consistency.
