10 capabilities
A practical way to explore the platform
Start with the resource you need, then add the pieces around it: a private network, access rules, persistent data and recovery. Each capability page explains the limits, supported workflows and links to its documentation.
Build and run
Create virtual machines or describe a complete setup as a stack you can review and apply.
- Cloud serversVirtual machines on NVMe with full root access and 20 TB of traffic.Useful for: Websites and APIs · Databases and cachesExplore capability: Cloud servers
- ComposerDesign a whole setup visually, see its monthly cost, create it in one step.Useful for: A complete web stack · Repeatable environmentsExplore capability: Composer
Store and recover
Keep data independent from servers, then make restorable copies before changes or incidents.
- Block storageVolumes of 10 GB to 10 TB that you grow while in use and move between servers.Useful for: Database data · Uploads and mediaExplore capability: Block storage
- Backups and snapshotsSeven daily backups per server, and snapshots whenever you need one.Useful for: Safety net for production · Before risky changesExplore capability: Backups and snapshots
Connect your services
Link private workloads, route incoming traffic and give services stable public addresses.
- Private networks and NATIsolated networks between your servers, with NAT for outbound traffic.Useful for: Database behind the app · A VPC-style layoutExplore capability: Private networks and NAT
- Load balancersSpread TCP and HTTP traffic over healthy servers, picked by label.Useful for: Scale a web app · Zero-downtime deploysExplore capability: Load balancers
- IP addressesIPv4 and IPv6 on every server, floating IPs for failover, reverse DNS.Useful for: Failover · Mail serversExplore capability: IP addresses
Protect and automate
Control network access, manage teams safely and operate resources through repeatable workflows.
- FirewallsStateful rules in front of your servers, applied by server or label.Useful for: SSH from the office only · Lock down databasesExplore capability: Firewalls
- API, CLI and TerraformEvery console feature in a REST API, a CLI and a Terraform provider.Useful for: Infrastructure as code · CI/CDExplore capability: API, CLI and Terraform
- Teams and accessProjects, team roles, scoped API tokens and two-factor sign-in.Useful for: Agencies · Separate environmentsExplore capability: Teams and access
