Server Types

A Server Type determines the specific amounts of RAM, CPU and local disk storage allocated to an individual Cloud Server.

A number of different Server Types are available to suit various workloads with varying associated hourly costs.

Storage Type

The storage_type attribute determines the type of storage (local or network) that the Cloud Server will use for the root disk.

Cloud Servers based on either storage type may attach block storage Volumes to add additional storage.

Local SSD storage

Server Types with a storage_type of local use direct-attached SSD storage for the root disk. The disk_size attribute describes the amount of local SSD to be allocated.

Network Block Storage

Server Types with a storage_type of network use a network-attached Block Storage Volume for the root disk. Since network types don’t use local storage, the disk_size attribute will be 0.

Changing Server Type

Cloud Servers can be resized to a new Server Type, with the following limitations:

• The new type must have the same storage_type as the current one
• Cloud Servers using local SSD types can’t be resized to a type which has a smaller disk size than the current one
