+# Virtual hardware recommendations for cloud deployments
+
+{{product.full_name}} runs reliably on cloud infrastructure and is supported for all cloud providers. 
+
+This document includes virtual hardware recommendations for the most popular cloud providers.
+
+## Amazon Web Services (AWS)
+
+Percona recommends the AWS EC2 memory-optimized instances as they best suit {{product.full_name}} usage. The `R7i` offers the best performance-per-dollar ratio among all memory-optimized AWS EC2 instance types. The cost efficiency makes these instances a strong choice for organizations that need high and cost-efficient performance. You can review the Amazon website for more details on [Amazon EC2 R5 Instances :octicons-link-external-16:](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/r7i/).
+
+| Instance size | vCPU | Memory (GiB) |
+|---|---|---|
+| r7i.xlarge | 4 | 32 |
+| r7i.2xlarge | 8 | 64 |
+| r7i.4xlarge| 16 | 128 |
+| r7i.8xlarge| 32 | 256 |
+| r7i.16xlarge| 64 | 512 |
+
+The recommendation is based on Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) version 0.17.0 and is fully described in the article "[Which memory-optimized AWS EC2 instance type is best for MongoDB? :octicons-link-external-16:](https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Cloud/Which-memory-optimized-AWS-EC2-instance-type-is-best-for-MongoDB/post/1615010)"
+
+## Microsoft Azure
+
+Percona recommends Virtual Machine (VM) sizes from the D-series for {{product.full_name}} deployments in Microsoft Azure. `Dsv5` instance family is the most cost-efficient choice. For more information on Azure Virtual Machines, see [Linux Virtual Machines pricing :octicons-link-external-16:](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/details/virtual-machines/linux/).
+
+| Instance size | vCPU | Memory (GiB) |
+|---|---|---|
+| D8s v5 | 8 | 32 |
+| D16s v5 | 16 | 64 |
+| D32s v5 | 32 | 128 |
+| D64s v5 | 64 | 256 |
+| D96s v5 | 96 | 384 |
+
+The recommendation is based on Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) version 0.17.0 and fully described in the article "[Best Virtual Machine Size for Self-Managed MongoDB on Microsoft Azure :octicons-link-external-16:](https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Cloud/Best-Virtual-Machine-Size-for-Self-Managed-MongoDB-on-Microsoft/post/1606921)"
+
+## Google Cloud
+
+Percona recommends `c3-standard` machine families among other general-purpose GCP instances for {{product.full_name}} deployment in Google Cloud Platform (GCP). For more information on Google virtual machines, see [Google Compute Products :octicons-link-external-16:](https://cloud.google.com/compute/vm-instance-pricing?hl=en).
+
+| Instance size | vCPU | Memory (GiB) |
+|---|---|---|
+| c3-standard-8 | 8 | 32 |
+| c3-standard-22 | 16 | 88 |
+| c3-standard-44 | 32 | 176 |
+| c3-standard-88 | 64 | 352 |
+
+The recommendation is based on Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) version 0.17.0 and fully described in the article "[MongoDB: Best choice of instance type on GCP :octicons-link-external-16:](https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Tech-Innovation/Cloud/MongoDB-Best-choice-of-instance-type-on-GCP/post/1556443)"
