When deploying a Scaleway Instance, selecting the appropriate CPU provisioning is key for optimizing performance and cost.

All Instances are deployed on large, powerful physical servers powered by the latest datacenter-grade CPUs. A hypervisor splits the large physical machine into smaller virtual units on these machines.

The hypervisor manages the allocation and scheduling of physical resources such as CPU or RAM. While RAM is always allocated dedicated per Instance, two types of CPU provisioning are available: **shared** and **dedicated** CPUs.

## Shared CPU Instances

Shared CPU 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.

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.

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.

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").
