Will Different RDS DB Instances Share CPU and Memory Resources?

Yes, that depends on the instance class.
  • General-purpose:

    CPU resources are shared with other general-purpose DB instances on the same physical machine. CPU usage is maximized through resource overcommitment. This instance class is a cost-effective option and suitable for scenarios where performance stability is not critical.

  • Dedicated:

    The instance has dedicated CPU and memory resources to ensure stable performance. The performance of a dedicated instance is never affected by other instances on the same physical machine. This instance class is good when performance stability is important.
