General Concept

• Instance: One BBC instance is equivalent to a BBC, including the computing resources, such as CPU, memory and disk. You can view the Product Model to understand which instances with standard configuration are provided by BBC.
• Region and availability zone: Baidu AI Cloud provides the globally distributed physical data center, and the location of data center is referred to as region. In some region, there are several data centers whose infrastructures are isolated from each other, and each data center is referred to as the availability zone. For the region and availability zone supported by BBC, see Region and Availability Zone.
