Compute

Server types

CloudOps manages two kinds of compute: bare-metal servers (physical machines you own or rent) and virtual machines (KVM guests that run on those servers). Both appear side by side in the console with the same lifecycle controls.

Creating a virtual machine

Pick a host server, then choose the VM's shape: vCPUs, memory, disk size, OS image, and network attachment. The platform creates the VM, wires up its networking, and reports its addresses back to the console within minutes.

• Linux images boot with cloud-init and your SSH keys pre-installed.
• Windows VMs are cloned from a prepared golden image, with an administrator account you set at creation time.

Browser console

Every VM has a graphical console that runs directly in the browser — no VPN or local client needed. Use it for OS installers, rescue work, or anything else that happens before SSH/RDP is available.

Lifecycle

Start, stop, reboot, and delete from the console or API. Deleting a VM tears down the real resources on the host — disks, network attachments, and console sessions — not just the database record.
