Features
The same rate at hour 1 and hour 700.
Transparent on-demand pricing
Every instance rate is in the public price list as an hourly amount, so you know the cost before you launch.
Five instance sizes
From gp1.core.2 to gp1.core.32. The instance type catalog states each type’s vCPU count and memory.
Change type when stopped
Change a stopped instance’s type so it starts again at a different size. It keeps its identity, address and volumes.
Instance health checks
Each instance reports its health checks next to its status and status reason, so you can see what needs attention.
Storage and networking built in
Instances boot from Persistent Volume Storage and launch into your project’s default VPC, with an internet gateway and a public address, unless you choose a subnet.
Custom images
Create your own images and launch instances from them to standardize your deployments.
Use cases
What teams run on gp1.
General business applications
Line-of-business applications at the same published rate at hour 1 and hour 700.
Web hosting
Sites and APIs on a gp1.core.2 instance from 0,0551 € per hour, with a floating IP from your VPC.
Batch processing
Scheduled batch jobs such as data processing or media encoding.
