name: Development Instances; category: virtual_machine; cpu isolation: shared; description: STARDUST1, DEV1 and PLAY2 shared-vCPU Linux families for non-critical development and test workloads. STARDUST1-S is currently limited to FR-PAR-1, NL-AMS-1 and PL-WAW-2; the larger development families cover selected Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw zones., name: Shared General Purpose Instances; category: virtual_machine; cpu isolation: shared; description: BASIC2-A, BASIC3-X, PRO2 and GP1 general-purpose families. Current public availability varies by family: BASIC3-X is exposed in selected Paris and Amsterdam zones and IT-MIL-1; the older families are exposed in France, the Netherlands and, for PRO2/GP1, Poland., name: Dedicated General Purpose Instances; category: virtual_machine; cpu isolation: dedicated; description: STANDARD2-A, STANDARD3-X and POP2 virtual machines with dedicated vCPUs. POP2 is currently exposed across all Paris, Amsterdam and Warsaw zones; the live pricing catalog also exposes it in IT-MIL-1, while the separate regional availability matrix does not, so the Italy benchmark conservatively uses BASIC3-X., name: POP2-WIN Instances; category: windows_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: dedicated; description: Dedicated-vCPU Windows Server virtual machines currently exposed in FR-PAR-1 and FR-PAR-2., name: Specialized Instances; category: virtual_machine; cpu isolation: dedicated; description: MEMORY3-X and POP2-HM memory-optimized, COMPUTE3-X and POP2-HC compute-optimized, and POP2-HN network-optimized dedicated-vCPU families. Family and zone coverage varies across France, the Netherlands, Poland and Italy., name: GPU Instances; category: gpu_virtual_machine; cpu isolation: dedicated; description: Current NVIDIA B300 SXM, H100 SXM/PCIe, L40S, L4 and P100 RENDER-S GPU virtual machines, with accelerator-specific availability concentrated in France and Poland.
