Frequently asked questions
They are located in Paris, Amsterdam, and Warsaw. Scaleway's data centers are all protected by biometric access control systems and by our own 24/7 on-site technical and security staff.
We provide a wide range of Linux distributions and InstantApps for Instances. You are free to bootstrap your own distribution. See the documentation on creating an image from scratch.
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.
You can connect to your General Purpose Instance through an SSH communication protocol. For additional security, you can restrict the access to your local IP only by using security groups.
General Purpose Instances support hot snapshots. This means you can perform a snapshot while your Instance is running. Hot snapshots allow you to create a point-in-time backup without downtime. Please note that hot snapshots can potentially lead to inconsistent data or data loss. Before taking a hot snapshot, you should always sync the data on your disk and stop I/O-intensive processes. Whenever possible, you should take a cold (Instance powered off) snapshot.
The size of local storage depends on your Instance type. With current configurations, the maximum local storage available for a General Purpose Instance is 600GB. Block Storage allows you to create bigger volumes and those volumes are persistent meaning that they do not need to be attached to an Instance. See the comparison table between local storage and Block Storage.
