Infrastructure

See what Infrastructure holds, how its pages are grouped, and where to start when you want a cloud server, a network or storage.

Choose an image, a size, a name and the keys you sign in with, then start a new cloud server in about a minute.

Find a server in your list, read its page, start, stop or reboot it, rename it, keep notes and delete it safely.

Sign in over SSH or the browser console, install SSH keys, and repair a server in recovery mode or reset its root password.

Change a server’s vCPUs, memory or CPU class, or start it again from a fresh operating system that you can undo for 24 hours.

See a server’s interfaces and addresses, set reverse DNS, and choose the firewall groups and rules that let traffic in.

See the disks of a cloud server, add or attach a volume, extend a volume and grow its filesystem, or detach and delete one.

Read the CPU, memory, disk and network graphs of a cloud server, and see every action taken on it and by whom.

Generate a new SSH key pair or import your own public key, so you can pick it when you deploy a cloud server.

See the images you saved from your servers, volumes and backups, open each one’s page, check it can deploy a server, rename or delete it.

Read the Volumes list, create a blank volume and attach it to a cloud server, then extend, rename or delete it.

Read a volume’s page, take and revert snapshots, and rename, describe, extend, attach, detach or delete it.

Take backups and snapshots of a server, find every backup on your account, restore one to a new volume or turn it into an image.

Read a backup’s details page, restore its server or a new volume from it, deploy a new server from it, turn it into an image or delete it.

Create a plan that backs up a server’s volumes on a schedule, and read the Backup Plans list: when each plan runs and what it keeps.

Read a backup plan’s details page: its schedule, what it keeps, the volumes it covers and how its runs went, then change, pause or remove it.

Create a private network for your servers, add subnets to it, and connect it to the internet through a public network.

Read a private network’s page: its address ranges, router, servers, ports and subnets. Rename, connect or delete it.

Create a router, give it a gateway to a public network, route your subnets through it and add static routes.

Read a router’s page: its state, gateway, interfaces, static routes, floating IPs and servers. Change, turn off or delete it.

Allocate a public IPv4 address, point it at a server, move it between servers, set its reverse DNS and release it.

Read a floating IP’s page: what it points at, its reverse DNS, pool, router and price. Point it, move it or release it.

Create a firewall group, add rules that allow traffic in and out, and see which servers use it.

Read a firewall group’s page: its rules and the servers that use it. Add, change or delete rules, rename the group or delete it.

Spread traffic across several servers, with health checks that take a failing server out of rotation.

Read a load balancer’s properties, pools and member health, add and edit its listeners, attach a public address, or delete it.

Link your private networks to another site, such as an office, over an encrypted tunnel, then add its connections.

See what your servers, volumes and public addresses cost so far this month, per server and per resource, before tax.

Add, edit and delete a VPN endpoint’s connections, copy the far end’s settings, and rename or delete the endpoint.

See the hourly rates for vCPU, RAM, storage and public addresses, and how much of each account limit you use.
