name: Genesis VMs; category: fixed_monthly_self_service_root_vm_on_genesis_public_cloud; relationship: A simplified single-VM product deployed on Genesis Public Cloud and ordered through the Genesis billing portal; it is commercially distinct from the metered OpenStack account rather than a duplicate provider.; current orderability: The live pricing table exposes a BUY link for every Linux and Windows size, and the live billing portal retains the Genesis VMs order group.; billing: Month-to-month base prices are paid in advance. Optional 3/6/12/24/36-month prepayments discount 5/10/15/20/25%; benchmarks exclude those commitments.; included service: Each VM includes 5 TiB outbound transfer, six image backups once enabled, a locked-down configurable firewall, console/rescue/reinstall controls, one public address path and networked replicated storage.;

max: 15; windows price usd range: min: 15; max: 27, name: Genesis Public Cloud; category: self_service_openstack_root_vm_metered_every_30_seconds; relationship: The underlying OpenStack IaaS product, with domain/project multi-tenancy, Horizon, CLI, SDK and REST API access. It has a separate live order group and exposes substantially more compute, storage and network control than Genesis VMs.; current orderability: The current pricing page links directly to the live Public Cloud order group; first-party onboarding documentation describes registration, purchase and automated account provisioning.; billing: CPU and memory are metered every 30 seconds. Published VM table prices are 730-hour monthly estimates, not caps. Powered-off CPU and memory are free; network storage remains metered and included local storage remains billed.; network and transfer: 20 TiB of outbound Internet transfer is included per project, not per VM; excess is USD 0.02/GiB. One in-use network-protected no-NAT public IP per VM is free and needs no paid router.; storage catalog: Fourteen current volume choices span replicated/non-replicated SSD, provisioned-IOPS SSD and replicated HDD.

Operating systems

genesis vms published choices: CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Server; public cloud published choices: Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, FreeBSD, Fedora, Windows Server; public cloud custom images: User image import/export is supported without stated format restriction; the pricing page explicitly lists qcow2, vmdk and ISO storage, and the product page names custom pfSense, ESXi and FreeBSD examples.; provisioning: Cloud-init-capable manufacturer images, SSH-key injection for Linux, RDP for Windows and full root/Administrator guest control.; version freshness boundary: Public pages do not expose an anonymous live image/version API. Older documentation examples for CentOS 7 and Windows Server 2019 are not promoted to a current selectable-version guarantee.

Virtualization

directory virtualizer: KVM; basis: Both current products run on Genesis Public Cloud/OpenStack. Genesis' current company page identifies self-service KVM and OpenStack infrastructure, while independently measured Genesis Public Cloud plans identify KVM. The public Nova driver is not exposed in anonymous first-party API output, so the independent plan observation is retained as corroboration.; control planes: genesis vms: Simplified Genesis billing-portal/WHMCS workflow for provisioning, power, console, firewall, backups, reinstall and service requests.; public cloud: OpenStack Horizon web UI plus OpenStack CLI, SDK and REST API; HEAT/Terraform orchestration and a preconfigured jump host.; nested virtualization: Enabled by the hypervisor but explicitly unsupported; Genesis recommends it only for testing or disaster-recovery cases.; live migration: The current feature page says live migration is used during maintenance windows.; source conflict: The live legal terms still describe an older VMware ESX virtual-infrastructure service. Current product pages and the provider's OpenStack migration story say Genesis Public Cloud replaced VMware; the directory therefore uses KVM/OpenStack for the two current benchmarked products and preserves the stale-contract conflict.

CPU isolation

classification: mixed_shared_and_dedicated; shared rule: Flavor names carrying s are explicitly shared-core. Public pricing and Genesis VMs pricing place shared and dedicated flavors on physically separate server groups.; dedicated rule: Families explicitly marked Dedicated Cores are classified dedicated. Genesis says one core is a full core with hyperthreading disabled; this is an explicit dedicated-core claim for those flavors, not ownership of a whole server.; security and topology: Intel hyperthreading is disabled and current pages state CPU mitigations/microcode are applied. Shared and dedicated hosts are physically separated.; gpu boundary: Public Cloud g6as/g6asx flavors expose one full NVIDIA Tesla T4 through PCI passthrough while their listed CPU cores remain shared.; offer level mapping: genesis vms dedicated families: vm.c5d, vm.c5dd, vm.m5d, vm.m5dd, vm.r5d, vm.r5dd; genesis vms shared families: vm.c5sd, vm.c5sdd, vm.c6sd, vm.c6sdd, vm.m5sd, vm.m5sdd, vm.r5sd, vm.r5sdd, vm.t5sd; public cloud dedicated families: c5, c5d, m5, m5d, r5, r5d; public cloud shared families: c5s, c5sd, c6asx, c6s, c6sd, c7as, c7asx, g6as, g6asx, m5s, m5sd, m6asx, m7as, m7asx, r5s, r5sd, r6asx, t5sd, w6as, w6asd, w6asx, w7as, w7asx

Features

• App installation genesis vms: No named one-click application catalog is published; customers install compatible software with root/Administrator access.; public cloud: Cloud-init and custom images support automated bootstrapping. OpenStack Magnum provisions Kubernetes clusters and HEAT/Terraform/Ansible workflows can configure applications.; boundary: These are infrastructure automation paths, not a managed application marketplace.
  ✓
• Templates & images provider images: Linux and Windows provider images plus cloud-init support.; user images: Public Cloud supports image import/export and qcow2, vmdk and ISO image storage.; recovery: Genesis VMs includes six manual/scheduled image backups once enabled, easy OS reinstall and rescue boot. Public Cloud exposes volume snapshots and object-storage-backed backups as metered services.; clone boundary: Genesis VMs cloning currently requires ordering a new VM and opening a staff ticket.
  ✓
• Network orchestration public cloud: OpenStack Projects, networks, subnets, DHCP/IPAM, ports, routers, floating/no-NAT IPs, IPsec VPN, security groups and private tenant networking are customer-controlled. HEAT, Terraform, Ansible, Puppet, Salt and Chef are documented.; genesis vms: Private networking between VMs and public connectivity are exposed through the simplified product; jumbo frames are explicitly unavailable there but supported in Public Cloud.; api: Public Cloud is managed through Horizon, CLI, SDK and REST API; Genesis VMs does not publish an administrative REST API.
  ✓
• Firewall genesis vms: Locked down by default with customer-defined inbound and outbound firewall rules in the VM order portal; Windows RDP is not opened until the customer adds a rule.; public cloud: OpenStack security groups and port security are controlled through Horizon, CLI or API; distributed enforcement includes anti-spoofing.; ddos: Network-protected floating/no-NAT IP paths include FortiGuard plus Genesis network DDoS protections.
  ✓
• Load balancer public cloud: OpenStack Octavia HA layer-7 load balancers use redundant dedicated load-balancer nodes. The current price is USD 19 per load-balancer pair per 730 hours.; kubernetes: Magnum maps Kubernetes services and ingress load balancers to OpenStack load balancers.; genesis vms boundary: No native load-balancer control is published for the simplified Genesis VMs portal.
  ✓
• DNS management public cloud: Forward and reverse authoritative DNS zones/records are managed with OpenStack commands; Genesis publishes five authoritative nameservers and self-service PTR operations.; genesis vms: Reverse DNS is supported by staff ticket rather than self-service; no simplified-portal forward-zone manager is published.
  ✓
• Git integrations
  —
• Container registry public cloud: OpenStack Magnum deploys Kubernetes and documents a registry-enabled cluster-template option, plus Kubernetes volume/load-balancer drivers.; engines documented: Kubernetes, Swarm, Mesos; provider boundary: No named native linkage to Docker Hub, GHCR, GitLab Container Registry, ECR, ACR or another external image provider was found.
