High-Performance Compute Instances
Exoscale's compute instances use SSD local storage with options for standard, CPU-optimized, memory-optimized and storage-optimized flavors. Sizes range from Micro (512MB RAM, 1 core) to Jumbo (225GB RAM, 24 cores). GPU instances with NVIDIA cards (A30, V100, A40, A5000, RTX 6000 Pro) suit AI tasks. Anti-affinity ensures instances spread across hosts for resilience. Snapshots and custom templates aid backups and deployments. Billing prorates to the second, with powered-off instances charged only for storage.
Scalable Kubernetes Service (SKS)
Managed Kubernetes deploys clusters in 120 seconds. Starter clusters are free (no SLA), Pro offers 99.95% uptime. Users scale worker nodes, manage control planes via portal, CLI, API or Terraform. Integrates with network load balancers. Supports cloud-native apps across zones.
Managed DBaaS and Storage
DBaaS covers PostgreSQL, MySQL, Kafka, OpenSearch, Valkey and Grafana, with plans from Hobbyist (2GB RAM) to Premium (225GB RAM, multiple replicas). Object Storage is S3-compatible with multi-redundancy and replication. NVMe Block Storage attaches multiple volumes per instance for low-latency needs. Traffic: inbound free, intra-zone free, 1TB outbound free per instance monthly.
Scaleway
Elastic Metal Bare Metal Servers
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.
GPU Instances and AI Tools
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.
Managed Kubernetes, Databases, and Storage
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.
Renewable Data Centers and Networking
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.
