Instances

We are pleased to announce that Instance templates are now available.

An Instance template allows you to save a predefined, immutable server configuration, including Instance type, boot image, volumes, network settings, tags, and cloud-init scripts, so you can repeatedly deploy consistent Instances without manually re-entering parameters.

You can create templates from scratch via the new Templates tab in the console, or save your configuration as a template during the standard Instance creation wizard.

We are pleased to announce that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) versions 9 and 10 are now available as OS images for Scaleway Instances!

Bring Your Own Subscription (BYOS)

RHEL on Scaleway operates on a Bring Your Own Subscription model. You can deploy a RHEL Instance directly from the Scaleway console and activate it using your existing Red Hat subscription to receive updates, security patches, and support.

Prerequisites

• An active Red Hat subscription eligible for Red Hat Cloud Access.
• A Red Hat Customer Portal account.
• Standard Scaleway account permissions (Owner or IAM permissions).

Important Notes

• Licensing: Instances are deployed unentitled. You must register and attach your subscription to access Red Hat repositories.
• Support: Technical support is provided directly through your Red Hat subscription, not via Scaleway Support.
• Licenses: RHEL licenses must be ordered directly from Red Hat via the Customer Portal.

Scaleway is opening a new region: Milan, Italy. You can now deploy Instances, Kapsule, Block Storage, Object Storage, VPC, Databases, KMS, Audit Trail, and more in MIL-1. Check our availability page to get the entire list of available products and see which ones are coming soon.
