The directory uses the publicly displayed fixed monthly amount because it is directly comparable and outranks an hourly estimate; the exact hourly rates remain cataloged. Monthly service includes two snapshot slots., name: Cloud Compute — Compute Optimized; category: currently_publicly_orderable_customer_administered_full_root_virtual_machine; processor: AMD EPYC 7003 (Milan); current matrix: tier: CloudV 1; package id: 13; vcpu: 2; memory gib: 4; storage gb: 40; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 2; monthly eur: 6; hourly eur: 0.0089, tier: CloudV 2; package id: 12; vcpu: 4; memory gib: 8; storage gb: 80; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 4; monthly eur: 12; hourly eur: 0.0179, tier: CloudV 3; package id: 1; vcpu: 6; memory gib: 24; storage gb: 120; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 8; monthly eur: 25.5; hourly eur: 0.0379, tier: CloudV 4; package id: 2; vcpu: 8; memory gib: 48; storage gb: 240; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 10; monthly eur: 51; hourly eur: 0.0759, tier: CloudV 5; package id: 3; vcpu: 12; memory gib: 64; storage gb: 300; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 10; monthly eur: 72; hourly eur: 0.1071, tier: CloudV 6; package id: 4; vcpu: 16; memory gib: 96; storage gb: 400; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 12; monthly eur: 102; hourly eur: 0.1518, tier: CloudV 7; package id: 5; vcpu: 24; memory gib: 128; storage gb: 500; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 14; monthly eur: 147; hourly eur: 0.2188, tier: CloudV 8; package id: 6; vcpu: 32; memory gib: 256; storage gb: 600; storage type: NVMe; transfer tb: 16; monthly eur: 297; hourly eur: 0.442; billing scope: The generation selector describes higher single-thread performance and newer IPC. Its client-side order links preserve the selected generation. Fixed monthly prices are normalized; exact per-minute hourly alternatives remain cataloged.

Operating systems

exact publicly documented image: Ubuntu 24 (API slug ubuntu24); authenticated catalog boundary: An authenticated image-list endpoint exists, but the current public page and anonymous registration step do not publish the complete live provider-image inventory. No additional exact distribution or version is inferred.; custom image options: ISO upload, qcow2 import, snapshot clone, cloud-init; reinstall: A separate one-click reinstall operation is not present in the checked public API contract; creating from an image and replacing a server is documented.; windows or bsd: not_found; license boundary: not_found

Virtualization

hypervisor: KVM; guest control: Every current cloud server is described as a full-root KVM VPS. The public API contract includes create, retrieve, destroy, package modification, power management, activity, usage and console operations.; provisioning: The current page offers panel, REST API, Terraform and Ansible provisioning and says deployment takes minutes; no contractual provisioning-time SLO is published.; storage: The root disks are NVMe. Separately attached replicated SSD volumes cost EUR 0.10 per GB monthly from 10 to 1,000 GB and can be provisioned by panel, API or Terraform and resized online.; snapshot backup: The fixed monthly choice says it includes two backup snapshots, and the API supports snapshot create/list/delete/rollback. The general terms keep preservation responsibility with the customer and disclaim responsibility even when backup services are contracted, so snapshots are not represented as a guaranteed independent backup.; custom images: Customers can upload ISO files, import qcow2 images, clone from snapshots and use cloud-init.; rescue: The public API contract includes enter-rescue and exit-rescue operations.; public compute api or infrastructure as code: Documented REST API, OpenAPI contract, official SDK examples, CLI, Terraform provider and Ansible role.; live migration or export: not_found

CPU isolation

classification: dedicated; basis: The current Cloud page explicitly says dedicated vCPU cores, no shared resources, and dedicated vCPU threads per instance. That provider-explicit physical-thread isolation meets the directory's dedicated classification; no further one-vCPU-to-whole-physical-core claim is inferred.; general purpose processor: AMD EPYC 7002 Rome; compute optimized processor: AMD EPYC 7003 Milan; physical mapping: Dedicated vCPU hardware threads per instance; whether SMT siblings from one physical core can be assigned to different customers is not_found.; clock frequency: not_found; pinning or numa policy: not_found; numeric oversubscription ratio: No shared CPU according to current page; numeric fleet scheduling ratio not_found.; sustained use or throttling rule: not_found

Features

• App installation guest managed: Full root access permits installation of compatible software inside the guest.; cloud init: Supported for automated guest initialization.; native application marketplace or one click apps: not_found; managed boundary: Managed services and managed Kubernetes are separately marketed products and are not included in any raw-VM benchmark.
  ✓
• Templates & images provider images: The API has authenticated image-list and image-detail endpoints; only Ubuntu 24 is named in current public examples, so the full exact live catalog is not_found.; custom images: ISO upload and qcow2 import are explicitly supported.; snapshots: Monthly service includes two snapshot slots; API operations create, list, delete and roll back snapshots.; clone: Clone from a snapshot with cloud-init is explicitly supported.; customer template or export: not_found
  ✓
• Network orchestration transfer: Each plan has an exact included monthly transfer allowance from 1 to 16 TB. Larger commits or burst capacity require contact; no public overage price, post-cap behavior or measurement definition is published.; addresses: IPv6 is included with every instance. IPv4 is a selectable attachment at EUR 3 per address monthly; the public copy does not establish a free included IPv4. The API covers attach/detach, floating IPv4/IPv6 authorization and reverse DNS.; private networks: Private networks can be created and servers added or removed through the panel/API.; firewall link: Reusable edge-firewall groups can be attached to multiple servers and automated through API or Terraform.; volumes: Replicated SSD volumes can be attached/detached and resized online through panel, API or Terraform.; resize: Package modification and online attached-volume growth are in the API. CPU/RAM downgrade constraints, root-disk resize behavior and downtime guarantees are not_found.; ddos: Support FAQ says short-period DDoS protection is available but that customers under constant attack may not be retained. No capacity, clean-traffic allowance, response SLO or credit is published.; port speed bgp byoip nat vpc peering or bandwidth overage: not_found
  ✓
• Firewall provider edge firewall: Included layer-3/4 filtering before traffic reaches the hypervisor, with inbound default-deny unless ports are allowed and outbound open unless explicitly denied.; operations: Panel, REST API and Terraform management; reusable security groups; rule changes leave existing connections active while new connections follow the update.; guest managed: Full root also permits an independent operating-system firewall.; ddos boundary: Short-period DDoS handling is separate from the configurable firewall and has strict provider discretion.
  ✓
• Load balancer
  —
• DNS management service: Pidgin Host documents authenticated FreeDNS activation/deactivation, zone listing and record list/add-edit/delete operations for internal and external domains. Domain-registration copy says free DNS hosting is included.; record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, SRV, TXT, CAA (TYPE257); controls: TTL and the type-specific address, target, preference, priority, weight, port, flag, tag and value fields are documented through the REST API, official SDKs and CLI.; pricing: Free DNS hosting is advertised; no paid DNS tier or VM-bundled zone limit is published.; dnssec anycast secondary dns sla or query limits: not_found
