Key capabilities

Elastic Metal provides on-demand bare metal instances like Aluminium, Iridium, and GPU-equipped Titanium models. Deployment takes minutes via API, with models tailored for general compute, storage-intensive tasks, or AI. Users avoid virtualization overhead for better performance in databases or gaming servers. Models start around €0.02 per hour, with full root access and custom images.

High-end GPUs such as NVIDIA L40S, H100, and B300-SXM support AI training and inference. Custom GPU clusters scale for large models. Additional AI services include generative APIs and managed inference. These integrate with Kubernetes for orchestration, serving needs from startups to research labs without vendor lock-in.

Kapsule offers managed Kubernetes clusters, while Kosmos enables multi-cloud setups. Databases cover PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, and ClickHouse as managed services. Storage options include object (S3-compatible), block, and Glacier for archiving. Serverless Functions, Containers, and Jobs handle event-driven workloads. All scale automatically.

Nine data centers consume renewable energy, hitting a 1.15 PUE. Locations ensure low latency in Paris (multi-AZ), Amsterdam, and Warsaw. Networking features private VPCs, load balancers, WAF, and global anycast IPs. Tools like CLI and Terraform simplify management.
