Frequently asked questions
What is a Virtual Instance?
A Virtual Instance is a virtual machine in the cloud.
How to choose the right Instance?
Scaleway offers several types of Instances, each with their own set of resources and technical specifications. Check out our Instance comparison guide to learn more. Check out our Instance comparison page to learn more.
How can I get started?
In which regions and Availability Zones are Scaleway Virtual Instances available?
Our Virtual Instances are available in all our regions Paris (France), Amsterdam (Netherlands), and Warsaw (Poland). You can check the Instance availability guide to discover where each Instance type is available.
How am I billed for Instances consumption?
You can opt for a “pay as you go” model, paying only for what you consume. This approach gives you the flexibility to provision resources and delete resources when needed.
If you anticipate a consistent usage volume, Savings Plans offer a flexible pricing structure designed to optimize compute costs. By committing to a consistent monthly spend, you can benefit from up to 25% discount for long-term savings.
Learn more about Savings Plans here.
How can I secure my Instance?
All Instances are natively with our Virtual Private Cloud and its Private Networks. You can add it through the console or automate your deployment on a secure network with Terraform.
Learn more here.
Which operating system images are available?
You can deploy, manage, and scale your applications on the system image of your choice, whether it's Windows, Ubuntu, CentOS, or Fedora. You can find the full list here.

What type of support is available?
Scaleway offers 4 different support plans to match your needs: Basic, Advanced, Business, and Enterprise. You can find all the information, including pricing, here.
What is the difference between a virtual machine and a container?
A virtual machine (VM) and a container are two different ways to deploy applications.
VMs run a full operating system (OS), are resource-intensive, and provide strong isolation between one another. They’re ideal for applications requiring complete OS isolation.
On the other hand, containers share the host OS kernel, are lightweight, and provide isolated processes and file systems. They’re ideal for applications that can run on the same OS and need quick deployment and scaling.
