IBM Cloud Databases: Hosting model changes and predictable performance
IBM News, Thursday, May 2nd, 2024
The IBM Cloud Databases team focuses on providing hassle-free availability, reliability and security. In accordance with these values, we are making improvements to our hosting model to align with industry practices and improve the predictability of performance for our clients. This will apply to all IBM Cloud Database instances.
Those familiar with our databases know that when provisioning, users can select between a database with dedicated cores allocated to their instance, or a database placed on a multi-tenant machine, where cores are shared with other tenants. As part of our continuous effort to improve usability, we are moving to more clearly differentiated hosting choices: Isolated Compute and Shared Compute.
