Alibaba Cloud SLB can distribute user requests to backend ECS instances, but these ECS instances do not have to have the same specification (CPU, Memory). SLB virtualizes the added group of ECS instances in the same region into an application pool, and you can manage backend servers through either the default server group, a primary server group, or VServer groups. You can add ECS instances of different specifications to the same server group or VServer group according to your needs. SLB supports weighted round-robin (WRR) and weighted least connections (WLC) algorithms to balance the load among backend servers with different weights. References:

According to the Alibaba Cloud ECS documentation1, the recommended instance type for Tomcat is ecs.c5.xlarge, which has 4 vCPUs and 4 GiB of memory. This instance type is suitable for web applications that require high performance and low latency. The recommended instance type for Memcache is ecs.r5.large, which has 2 vCPUs and 16 GiB of memory. This instance type is optimized for memory-intensive applications that require high memory bandwidth and low latency. Therefore, option D is the most recommended configuration for deploying Tomcat and Memcache on two ECS instances. References: Instance type families and Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service Product Introduction

Weighted Round Robin (WRR) is a load balancing mode that assigns requests to backend ECS instances based on their weights. The higher the weight of the backend ECS instance, the higher the chance that the instance will receive requests. This mode can exploit the different service capacities of backend ECS instances by setting higher weights to ECS instances with higher capacities. For example, if there are two ECS instances in the backend server pool, one with a weight of 10 and the other with a weight of 20, the ECS instance with a weight of 20 will receive twice as many requests as the ECS instance with a weight of 10.
