Understanding Organization quotas

Every Organization has quotas, which are limits on the number of Scaleway resources they can use. Below is a list of quotas available for each resource.

At Scaleway, quotas are applicable per Organization.

Identity and Access Management

Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows you to share access to the management of your Scaleway resources, in a controlled and secure manner.

Projects

Project is Scaleway's resource management feature. Designed to help you organize your infrastructure and cloud services, the feature allows resources to be isolated and grouped into specific projects.

SSH keys

An SSH Key (Secure Shell Key) allows passwordless connection to an Instance.

SMTP

By default, remote email ports (25, 465, 587) are blocked, and cannot be reached from our infrastructure to avoid spam. You need to open the mail ports to send emails. You can enable them from the security group configuration.

Instances

An Instance is a computing unit, either virtual or physical, that provides resources to run your applications on. Currently Scaleway offers the following Instance types: General Purpose, Development, GPU, Stardust and Enterprise.

GPU Instances

GPU Instances (aka RENDER Instances) are powerful cloud Instances equipped with dedicated high-end Nvidia graphics processing units. They have been designed for artificial intelligence and rendering tasks. They support your most demanding workloads.

Apple silicon M1

Scaleway Apple silicon M1 as-a-Service is built using the latest generation of Apple Mac mini hardware (fifth generation). They are powered by Apple's M1 silicon and also equipped with a 256 GB SSD and 8 GB of RAM for towering performances and revolutionary power efficiency.

Apple silicon M1 as-a-Service is designed for developing, building, testing, and signing applications for Apple devices, including iPhones, iPads, Mac computers and much more. Mac mini M1 uses an advanced neural engine for up to 15x faster machine learning.

Elastic Metal

Elastic Metal servers allow you to order dedicated servers on-demand, like cloud Instances. These servers can be used for large workloads, big data and applications that require increased security and dedicated resources.

After you order a server from the list of Elastic Metal servers compatible with Microsoft Windows Server, you can choose a version of Windows Server to install directly from our console.

Kubernetes

Kubernetes Kapsule provides a managed environment for you to create, configure and run a cluster of pre-configured machines for containerized applications.

Kubernetes Kosmos is the first-of-its-kind managed multi-cloud Kubernetes Engine. It allows the connection of Instances and servers from any Cloud provider to a single managed Control-Plane hosted by Scaleway.

Dedicated Control Plan offers bring additional features such as single-tenant, guaranteed resources, improved performances, and high availability to the Kubernetes engine.

Container Registry

Scaleway Container Registry is a fully-managed mutualized Container Registry, designed to facilitate the storage, management and deployment of container images. The service simplifies the development-to-production workflow, as there is no need to operate your own Container Registry or to worry about the underlying infrastructure.

Serverless Containers

Serverless Containers allow you to deploy your containerized applications in a managed infrastructure. Scaleway ensures the deployment, the availability and scalability of all your projects.

Resources quotas

RAM quotas

The maximum RAM quota is obtained by multiplying the maximum scale factor of your container by the selected RAM quantity. For example, if you choose to create a container with 512 MB of memory and a maximum scale of 20, you will have 10 GB RAM.

Serverless Functions

Serverless Functions allow you to deploy your Functions on a managed infrastructure. Benefit from a constant availability, everywhere.

Resources quotas

RAM quotas

The maximum RAM quota is obtained by multiplying the maximum scale factor of your container by the selected RAM quantity. For example, if you choose to create a container with 512 MB of memory and a max scale of 20, you will have 10 GB RAM.

Storage

Local and Block Storage options are available with our compute offers.

Object Storage

Scaleway Object Storage allows you to store different types of objects (documents, images, videos, etc.) and to distribute them instantly, anywhere in the world. You can upload, download and visualize stored objects.

Database Instances

Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL provide fully-managed Relational Database Instances, providing MySQL and PostgreSQL as database engines. They allow you to focus on development rather than administration or configuration. They come with a high-availability mode, data replication, and automatic backups.

Network

Additional IP addresses and placement groups are available with our compute offers.

Public Gateways

Public Gateways sit at the border of Private Networks and provide extra functionality. They provide features like SSH bastion, and services to deal with traffic entering and exiting the network (NAT). You can add a Public Gateway to each of your Private Networks.

Load Balancers

Load Balancers allow you to distribute traffic and workload across multiple backend servers. They make it easy to scale your applications while ensuring continuous availability even in the event of heavy traffic. Each Load Balancer that you create is a highly available and fully managed Instance, consisting of one or more frontends and one or more backends. You can configure your Load Balancer according to your needs.

Domains and DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a name management system for computing devices connected to a network, be it public (Internet) or private. It translates text-based domain names to numerical IP addresses. Scaleway provides a managed DNS service.

IoT Hub

IoT Hub is a managed message broker that dispaches messages between devices, services and applications using a publish/subscribe pattern.

Transactional Email

Transactional Email is a platform that allows Scaleway clients to send transactional emails with high quality deliverability.

*Including the email and the attachments in the email.

Secret Manager

Scaleway’s Secret Manager allows you to conveniently store, access and share sensitive data such as passwords, API keys and certificates.

Web Hosting

Web Hosting is a service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible on the internet. It involves storing website files and data on a server, which is connected to the internet and enables users to access the website through a web browser.

Scaleway provides several Web Hosting plans for individuals, professionals, and everyone in between.
