Images
Capture reusable images and launch identical instances from them.
Learn moreVirtual Machines
Launch virtual machines in the Istanbul 1 region with a guided wizard that shows the estimated cost, your quota after the request, and the exact API call, before anything is created.
ICT Cloud console · illustrative data
Virtual machines sized for your workload, billed per second.
Every size, side by side
Search, filter, and sort every size published in the region. List prices are shown per region, so you compare before you commit.
Nothing hidden before Create
The review step shows the estimated cost, your quota after the request, and the REST equivalent of the call.
Up to 20 at once
Create up to 20 identical instances from one form. Each boots on its own, so a failure affects only that instance.
In the console
A wizard that explains itself
Eight steps: Basics, Size, Disks, Networking, Add-ons & licenses, Advanced, Tags, and Review + create. Missing a key pair, security group, or network? Create it inline without losing what you entered.
- Estimated cost updates as you choose
- Quota after this request, before you submit
- REST equivalent you can copy into scripts
Features
Boot from image, volume, or snapshot
Start from a published image, an existing bootable volume, or a snapshot.
SSH keys, password, or both
Attach SSH key pairs, or let the platform create an admin account with a password on first boot.
Quick security rules
Open SSH, RDP, HTTP, HTTPS, or ICMP from the wizard and restrict the source to your own IP address.
Public IP on demand
Reserve a Floating IP from the region pool. It is associated as soon as the instance is ACTIVE and billed hourly.
Built-in monitoring
Collect CPU, memory, disk, and network metrics. Monitoring is billed per hour while on, when it is priced.
Console access in the browser
Use the VNC console in your browser, or download the serial console log, which doesn’t depend on the guest network.
Deletion protection
While protection is on, the console and the REST API refuse to delete the virtual machine. Turn it off first when you really mean to.
Tags that follow the money
Key-value tags are applied to the instance, and Cost Explorer groups spend by them.
Resize with a price comparison
Compare hourly and monthly prices of the current and new size before you confirm. The instance restarts to change size.
How it works
Pick a size
Filter by vCPU, memory, and price to find the right size in the region.
Add disks and networking
Choose the OS disk, data volumes, interfaces, fixed IPs, and an optional Floating IP.
Set up access
Add an SSH key pair or admin password and choose security rules.
Review and create
Check cost, quota, and the REST equivalent, then create one instance or up to 20.

Per second from creation, with a minimum of 60 seconds per resource, applied once. Floating IPs are billed hourly; monitoring per hour while on, when it is priced.
How many instances can I create at once?
Up to 20 identical instances from one form, within your quota. The wizard shows your quota after the request before you submit.
How do I connect if SSH does not work?
