Frequently asked questions
What is a virtual instance?
A virtual instance is a machine in the cloud.
How can I get started?
In which regions and Availability Zones are Scaleway Virtual Instances available?
Our Virtual Instances are available in all our regions Paris (France), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Warsaw (Poland). You can check the Instance availability guide to discover where each Instance type is available.
How am I billed for Instances consumption?
You can opt for a “pay as you go” model, paying only for what you consume. This approach gives you the flexibility to provision resources and delete resources when needed.

What is the difference between a virtual machine and a container?
A virtual machine (VM) and a container are two different ways to deploy applications.
VMs run a full operating system (OS), are resource-intensive, and provide strong isolation between one another. They’re ideal for applications requiring complete OS isolation.
On the other hand, containers share the host OS kernel, are lightweight, and provide isolated processes and file systems. They’re ideal for applications that can run on the same OS and need quick deployment and scaling.
