Instances

Instance Autoscaling Groups is now available in Public Beta for the fr-par, nl-ams, and pl-waw regions.

This new feature enables automatic scaling and health management for standard Instance workloads based on resource consumption metrics, eliminating the need to containerize applications or manage complex orchestrators.

For more information, see:

• Scaleway Autoscaling Groups documentation
• Scaleway Autoscaling API reference

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.
