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.
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 configurations of cloud servers with dedicated GPUs.
Optimized for GPU computing, such as video transcoding, neural network training, or creating remote workstations.
Local or network boot drives are available in the GPU line. For cloud servers with a local drive, you can only use GPUs with local drive support. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For more information, see the Bandwidth section of the General information about cloud platform networks guide.
1 to 8 GPUs, 4 to 240 vCPUs, 16 GB to 450 GB RAM, and 64 GB to 6.8 TB of local drive are available.
For more information about dedicated GPUs, see the Graphics processing units (GPUs) guide.
Shared
Fixed configurations of cloud servers with the ability to use and pay for only a fraction of a vCPU.
Configurations of the Shared line are cheaper than other lines and are suitable for tasks that do not require constant and full utilization of a virtual core, such as running staging environments, websites, deploying networks, or training.
In the Shared line, a single virtual core can be shared by multiple clients at once. When creating such a configuration, specify the vCPU share that will be reserved for your server: 10%, 20%, or 50%. The performance of the cloud server will never fall below the specified share and can temporarily reach up to 100% if other clients do not utilize resources to the maximum or part of the virtual core is not leased.
Only network boot drives are available in the Shared line. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For more information, see the Bandwidth section of the General information about cloud platform networks guide.
Fixed configurations offer from 1 to 4 vCPUs and from 512 MB to 8 GB RAM.
Custom configurations are not available.
HighFreq
Fixed configuration
Custom configuration
Fixed configurations of high-performance cloud servers with CPU frequency up to 3.6 GHz and memory frequency up to 3,200 MHz. Suitable for databases such as 1C Bitrix, game servers, and other tasks requiring high processing speed and responsiveness.
Local boot drives are available in the HighFreq line. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For more information, see the Bandwidth section of the General information about cloud platform networks guide.
Fixed configurations are available in the line to support cloud servers with dedicated cores in the ru-6 multi-zone pool and the ru-3b, ru-7a, and ru-7b pool segments. Cloud servers with dedicated cores offer from 2 to 64 vCPUs, from 4 GB to 256 GB RAM, and from 30 GB to 1 TB of local drive.
Basic cloud servers offer from 1 to 64 vCPUs, from 2 GB to 256 GB RAM, and from 30 GB to 1.5 TB of local drive.
10G Net
Fixed configuration
Custom configuration
Fixed configurations of the line with support for fast 10 Gbps networks in the ru-3b, ru-7a, and ru-7b pool segments and segments of the ru-6 multi-zone pool. Line configurations are available only 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.
16 vCPUs, from 32 GB to 128 GB RAM, and from 256 GB to 2 TB of local drive are available.
Dedicated
Fixed configurations of the line with support for running a cloud server on a dedicated host in the ru-3b and ru-6a pool segments. Line configurations are available only with support for cloud servers with dedicated cores. Configurations with GPUs are also available.
Local or network boot drives are available in the Dedicated line. Network bandwidth is up to 3 Gbps. For more information, see the Bandwidth section of the General information about cloud platform networks guide.
Suitable for software bound to physical hardware, applications and services with compute workload isolation requirements, and high-load services.
In fixed configurations with CPU, 18 or 34 vCPUs, and 64 GB or 86 GB RAM are available. In configurations with GPU, 48 or 96 vCPUs, 48 GB or 72 GB RAM, and 512 GB or 1 TB of local drive are available.
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 drive size (optional).
To create cloud servers via OpenStack CLI and Terraform, flavor IDs or names are used. IDs differ across pools.
For example, 1015 is an ID, and SL1.4-16384 is the name of a flavor that corresponds 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 configuration flavor in the line with the required number of vCPUs, RAM, and local drive 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 for all configurations in a specific pool via OpenStack CLI.
