Cloud server configurations
When creating a cloud server, you can select the number of vCPUs, RAM, local disk size (optional), and add GPUs. Depending on the tasks the cloud server is needed for, you can choose a configuration from a specific line that fits these tasks.
For all lines except Shared and Dedicated, two types of server configurations are available:
- prebuilt configurations — configurations of lines with different specifications, in which the resource ratio is fixed;
- custom configurations — configurations in which any resource ratio can be specified.
Configurations use different processors depending on the line and pool segment. You can customize the selected configuration. After creating a cloud server, you can change the configuration.
Processors
Available processors vary by line.
Standard
GPU
Shared
HighFreq
10G Net
Dedicated
Processor with DDR4 REG 2450 MHz and processor with DDR5 REG 2250–2450 MHz for cloud servers with dedicated cores.
Processors with DDR4 REG 2133–2633 MHz for configurations without allocated cores.
Lines
You can check configuration availability in locations in the Configurations subsection of the Cloud Server Availability by Location instructions.
You can select a configuration when creating a cloud server in the control panel. If you want to create a fixed-configuration cloud server via the OpenStack CLI and Terraform, use the Fixed Configuration Flavors List Across All Pools table. If fixed configurations do not suit your needs, create a flavor. You can create a flavor with a GPU via the OpenStack API.
Depending on the line, up to 240 vCPUs, 1,000 GB RAM, and 3.2 TB of local disk are available in fixed configurations, and up to 232 vCPUs, 900 GB RAM, and 3.2 TB of local disk in custom configurations.
Standard
Fixed configuration
Custom configuration
Fixed configurations of the cloud server line with balanced vCPU:RAM resource allocation. Suitable for most tasks, such as executing code for web services and applications, hosting online stores, and creating test environments.
In the Standard line, a local or network boot disk is available. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For details, see the Bandwidth section of the General Information on Cloud Platform Networks instructions.
The line offers configurations of cloud servers with dedicated cores in the multi-zone pool ru-6 and pool segments ru-3b, ru-7a, and ru-7b. For cloud servers with dedicated cores, 2 to 32 vCPUs, 4 GB to 256 GB RAM, and 32 GB to 1 TB of local disk are available.
For basic cloud servers, 1 to 32 vCPUs, 1 GB to 128 GB RAM, and 16 GB to 1 TB of local disk are available.
GPU
Fixed configuration
Custom configuration
Fixed cloud server configurations with dedicated GPUs.
Optimized for GPU computing, such as video transcoding, neural network training, or creating remote workstations.
In the GPU line, local or network boot disks are available. For cloud servers with a local disk, only GPUs with local disk support can be used. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For details, see the Bandwidth section of the General Information on Cloud Platform Networks instructions.
From 1 to 8 GPUs, from 4 to 240 vCPUs, from 16 GB to 450 GB RAM, and from 64 GB to 6.8 TB of local disk are available.
For details on dedicated GPUs, see the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) instructions.
Shared
Fixed cloud server configurations with the ability to use and pay for only a portion of a vCPU.
Shared line configurations are cheaper than other lines and are suitable for tasks that do not require constant and full virtual core load, such as launching staging, hosting a website, setting up a network, or training.
In the Shared line, one virtual core can be used by multiple clients at once. When creating such a configuration, you need to specify the vCPU share reserved for your server: 10%, 20%, or 50%. Cloud server performance will never drop below the specified share and can temporarily reach up to 100% if other clients do not use resources to the maximum or part of the virtual core is not rented.
In the Shared line, only network boot disks are available. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For details, see the Bandwidth section of the General Information on Cloud Platform Networks instructions.
In fixed configurations, 1 to 4 vCPUs and 512 MB to 8 GB RAM are available.
Custom configurations are not available.
HighFreq
Fixed configuration
Custom configuration
Fixed configurations of high-performance cloud servers with a processor frequency of up to 3.6 GHz and memory speed of 3,200 MHz. Suitable for databases such as 1C-Bitrix, game servers, and other tasks requiring high processing speed and response time.
In the HighFreq line, local boot disks are available. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For details, see the Bandwidth section of the General Information on Cloud Platform Networks instructions.
The line offers fixed configurations to support cloud servers with dedicated cores in the multi-zone pool ru-6 and pool segments ru-3b, ru-7a, and ru-7b. For cloud servers with dedicated cores, 2 to 64 vCPUs, 4 GB to 256 GB RAM, and 30 GB to 1 TB of local disk are available.
For basic cloud servers, 1 to 64 vCPUs, 2 GB to 256 GB RAM, and 30 GB to 1.5 TB of local disk are available.
10G Net
Fixed configuration
Custom configuration
Fixed configurations of the line with support for fast 10 Gbps networks in pool segments ru-3b, ru-7a, ru-7b and segments of the multi-zone pool ru-6. Line configurations are only available with support for cloud servers with dedicated cores.
Suitable for high-load web applications, network services, game servers, and other tasks that require high network bandwidth when transferring large amounts of data.
Available 16 vCPUs, 32 GB to 128 GB RAM, and 256 GB to 2 TB of local disk.
Dedicated
Fixed configurations of the line with support for running a cloud server on a dedicated host in pool segments ru-3b and ru-6a. Line configurations are only available with support for cloud servers with dedicated cores. Configurations with GPUs are also available.
In the Dedicated line, local or network boot disks are available. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For details, see the Bandwidth section of the General Information on Cloud Platform Networks instructions.
Suitable for software tied to physical hardware, applications and services with computational workload isolation requirements, and high-load services.
Fixed configurations with CPUs offer 18 or 34 vCPUs, 64 GB or 86 GB RAM. Configurations with GPUs offer 48 or 96 vCPUs, 48 GB or 72 GB RAM, and 512 GB or 1 TB local disk.
Custom configurations are not available.
List of cloud server line flavors
Flavors correspond to cloud server configurations and determine the server's number of vCPUs, RAM, and local disk size (optional).
To create cloud servers via the OpenStack CLI and Terraform, flavor IDs or names are used. IDs differ across pools.
For example, 1015 is the ID, and SL1.4-16384 is the name of the flavor corresponding to the fixed configuration of the Standard line with 4 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM in the ru-9 pool.
If there is no fixed line configuration flavor with the required number of vCPUs, RAM, and local disk size, you can create a flavor.
You can view the list of fixed configuration flavors across all pools in the table or view the list of flavors of all configurations in a specific pool via the OpenStack CLI.
