Bare Metal Compute
EC2 Bare Metal Instances
Direct access to underlying server hardware using EC2 bare metal instance types.

Service information
Shortname: EC2 Bare Metal
Huawei equivalent shortnames: BMS
Keywords: bare metal, dedicated, compute, single-tenant
Differences vs Huawei
- Instance family and hardware portfolio differ.
- Provisioning lifecycle and automation primitives differ.
Migration to Huawei
- Map compute shape/runtime, OS-image behavior, scaling policy, and placement/isolation semantics. For AWS EC2 Bare Metal Instances, the direct Huawei equivalence layer is BMS; validate feature-by-feature parity for control plane, data plane, and operational behavior before cutover.
- Use a composed Huawei migration pattern where needed: BMS + CBR. Treat BMS as the core equivalent capability and use the additional services to cover integration, security, observability, and governance gaps.
- Pricing model difference: AWS usually bills primarily instance/runtime hours (often per-second) plus attached storage and network transfer; Huawei usually bills ECS/BMS/CCE/CCI runtime with EVS, bandwidth/traffic, and optional management add-ons. Recalculate TCO with peak load, request volume, retention period, and cross-region/interconnect traffic before production migration.
