Operating systems

current vps templates: AlmaLinux 9, AlmaLinux 8 with Plesk, CentOS Stream 9 on VMware, Debian 12, Debian 11, FreeBSD 13 on VMware, openSUSE Leap 15.2, Rocky Linux 9, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 Virtual Desktop, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 MinIO on VMware, Ubuntu 22.04 Virtual Desktop, Ubuntu 20.04 on OpenStack, Windows Server templates including Windows Server 2022; application images: OpenClaw, WireGuard, Docker, n8n, Hermes Agent, WordPress; cloud server options: provider Linux and Windows templates, custom templates and FTP image import in the documented Cloud Server workflow, Windows licensing included in Hyper-V CPU pricing; specialized: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications on IaaS for SAP HANA; access: Linux root password can be reset from the control panel, Windows Administrator password can be reset from the control panel; limitations: template availability depends on hypervisor and VPS tier, Windows is not available on the OpenStack Starter VPS tier, application images are deployment variants of VPS, not separate resource families

Virtualization

OpenStack for current OpenStack Cloud VPS, Cloud Server and Virtual Data Center families, VMware for Cloud VPS, configurable Cloud Server and SAP HANA IaaS, VMware Cloud Director for Virtual Private Cloud, Microsoft Hyper-V for configurable Windows Cloud Server, full Linux root or Windows Administrator access, including a documented password-reset workflow, customer selection of platform, resources, template and billing interval during Cloud Server creation

CPU isolation

cloud vps: shared vCPU and shared platform resources; cloud server: guaranteed virtual CPU and RAM for OpenStack, VMware and Hyper-V Cloud Server; virtual data center: guaranteed virtual resources; virtual private cloud: guaranteed vCPU resources inside the VMware virtual data center; sap hana iaas: guaranteed VMware VM resources; directory treatment: Guaranteed means the advertised VM allocation is reserved or guaranteed; Aruba does not state that these vCPUs are exclusive pinned physical cores, so none is classified as dedicated physical CPU.

Features

• App installation preconfigured vps images: OpenClaw, WireGuard, Docker, n8n, Hermes Agent, WordPress; scope: These are preconfigured OpenStack VPS images with guest root control, not additional VM resource families. Ordinary root/admin VMs also permit manual application installation.
  ✓
• Templates & images images: Current Linux, BSD, Windows and application templates vary by hypervisor and tier.; custom images: Cloud Server creation supports custom templates and documented FTP image import.; lifecycle: web control panels and APIs, power and configuration controls, monitoring, logs and scheduled tasks, password reset for Linux root and Windows Administrator; limitations: The public sources inspected do not establish one uniform snapshot, image-import or backup entitlement across all eleven VM families.
  ✓
• Network orchestration control planes: Aruba Cloud control panel and APIs for Cloud Server, OpenStack-compatible management for public cloud and Virtual Data Center, VMware Cloud Director for Virtual Private Cloud; network functions: public IPv4 and IPv6 according to family, private networking and virtual switching for applicable Cloud Server and virtual-data-center products, reverse-DNS controls, monitoring, logs and scheduled operations; location caveat: The current compute-service matrix verifies IT1, IT2, IT3, CZ1, FR1, DE1 and PL1. Aruba marketing also discusses newer Rome and Prague facilities, but the current provisionable-compute matrix does not attribute these VM services to them, so they are excluded here.
  ✓
• Firewall openstack and vdc: Security groups provide provider-control-plane network filtering for applicable OpenStack and Virtual Data Center VMs.; virtual private cloud: Gateway Edge supplies firewall, NAT and VPN functions; more advanced components are optional.; cloud vps limitation: The independently maintained current feature inventory records no provider firewall for the fixed Cloud VPS product. Guest root access still permits a guest firewall, but that is not an Aruba edge-firewall feature.; shared responsibility: Customers remain responsible for guest operating-system configuration, patching, credentials and workload security.
  ✓
• Load balancer availability: The current service-location matrix lists Load Balancer in every included Aruba Cloud country and data-center code.; cloud server: Optional load-balancer service; the VMware price list publishes EUR 7.50 per month for the base service.; virtual private cloud: Gateway Edge is included and advanced load-balancing capacity is optional; the current pricing page lists an Advanced Load Balancer item from EUR 465.50 per month.; scope: This is a separate or bundled network service, not included in every benchmark VM price.
  ✓
• DNS management managed dns: Aruba Cloud DNS Management is a separate service priced from EUR 0.10 per domain per month.; reverse dns: Reverse DNS is managed from the Aruba Cloud control panel for supported public IPs.; scope: DNS service charges are not included in benchmark VM prices.
  ✓
• Git integrations service: Aruba Cloud Container Registry; integrations: GitLab, GitHub Actions, Jenkins; scope: The integrations belong to the separate managed Harbor-compatible registry and CI/CD workflow, not to an automatic Git deployment feature included with every VM.
  ✓
• Container registry service: Aruba Cloud Container Registry based on Harbor; standards and clients: Docker and OCI container images, Helm charts, Kubernetes, APIs and webhooks; scope: This is a separately provisioned managed registry usable by VM workloads; it is not bundled into the listed VM prices.
