Instances

ENT1 Instances are now deprecated and unavailable for new deployments. Existing ENT1 Instances will soon be automatically migrated to their POP2 equivalent, as announced recently through our emails & ticket communication. POP2 Instances, which share the same hardware specifications as ENT1 Instances, provide access to the latest features, ensuring your infrastructure remains current with evolving technology and demands.

Windows Server 2022 and Windows Server 2022 Core images now use DHCP for network configuration by default, consistent with all existing Instance OS images.

For running Instances, no network configuration changes are needed unless you modify the public IPv4 address.

If you change the public IPv4 address, the Instance will retain its existing static configuration and continue using the previous address. To enable DHCP for your Instance, follow our dedicated documentation before updating the public IPv4 address.

Since April 30th 2025, it has become impossible to CREATE new block volumes using the Instance API (or through associated developer tools). Customers can only list, mount, unmount or delete volumes through the Instance API. Block volume creation and management must go through the Block Storage API. Learn more about the advantages of migrating from the Instance API to the Block Storage API for managing block volumes and snapshots.
