Shared vCPU Instances, including [Learning](/instances/reference-content/learning/) and [Cost-Optimized](/instances/reference-content/cost-optimized/), are cost-effective virtual machines in which CPU resources are shared among multiple Instances.
3737
This means multiple virtual CPU cores are allocated to these Instances, but the physical CPU cores available on the hypervisors' hardware are shared among them.
3838
As a result, Instances share physical CPU time, and during peak demand from other Instances on the same host, your workloads might temporarily slow down due to CPU contention (also known as "CPU steal").
39+
While physical CPU threads are shared between Instances, vCPUs are dedicated to each Instance, and no data can be shared or accessed between Instances through this setup.
