| Virtual CPU | 12 | 576 |
What data storage vendors are available?
FeatureBase runs on the following vendor architecture:
| Feature | AWS S3 | Microsoft Azure |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | ARM | AMD |
| Externalized storage | Supported | Not supported |
| Backups | S3 buckets | BLOB Storage that keeps the data within the cloud provider |
