Where are my Production-Optimized Instances located?

Production-Optimized Instances (ENT1) are located in Paris (France), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Warsaw (Poland). Scaleway's data centers are all protected by biometric access control systems and by our own 24/7 on-site technical and security staff.

Which Linux distributions are available?

Scaleway’s ImageHub is a catalog of system images that allow you to deploy, manage and scale your favorite applications in seconds, using image templates. We provide a wide range of different Linux distributions and InstantApps for Instances. Production-Optimized Instances will work with a selection of the latest, most-acclaimed images, including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and Fedora. Check the full list here

What are the benefits to expect from dedicated resources?

Dedicated Resources offer a more stable experience for Compute-Demanding workloads. Their benefits include: No “noisy neighbors” No “burst effects” Optimization for demanding and specific needs

What makes FR-PAR-2 a sustainable Region?

FR-PAR-2 is our second innovative and sustainable availability zone (AZ) in Paris. The eco-AZ FR-PAR-2 is our carbon-neutral & environmentally efficient region. FR-PAR-2 is 100% powered by renewable (hydraulic) energy and also has an energy footprint 30-40% lower than that of a traditional data center, thanks to the fact that it does not require air conditioning.

What is a Production environment?

A production environment is a system where software applications are executed and made available to end-users or customers. This environment is usually optimized for reliability, scalability, and security to ensure that the application runs smoothly and efficiently without interruptions or downtime. It is the final stage in the software development lifecycle where the application is deployed and maintained for live use.
