Frequently asked questions

Where are my Cost-Optimized Instances located?

Cost-Optimized Instances are available in all regions: Paris (France), Amsterdam (Netherlands), 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. Cost-Optimized Instances will work with a selection of the latest, most-acclaimed images, including Ubuntu, Debian, CentOS and Fedora. Check the full list here

How can I connect to my Cost-Optimized Instances?

You can connect to your Instances through an SSH communication protocol. For additional security, you can restrict the access to your local IP only by using security groups.

Do I have to power off my Instance to take a snapshot?

Cost-Optimized 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.

What is a Development and Testing environment?

A development and testing environment in a computing environment is a set of resources and tools used by developers and testers to create and test software applications in a cloud-based environment. This environment typically includes virtual machines, containers, and other cloud services. It allows developers to create and test applications in a scalable and cost-effective manner, without the need to maintain their own physical infrastructure.

Can I upgrade a Cost-Optmized instance to a Production-Optimized instance?

Yes, a Cost-Optmized Instance can be upgraded to a Production-Optimized instance, when you will need more high-performance instances. Scaleway makes it very easy to migrate your data from one Instance to another or upgrade your Instance to a more powerful one if your requirements grow. Learn how here

Can I migrate from my first-generation to the second-generation of Cost-Optimized instances?

Yes. Please refer to the tutorial, where we document the process of how to migrate from a first-generation of Cost-Optimized Instance (DEV1/GP1) with local storage to a second-generation of Cost-Optimized Instance(PLAY2/PRO2) with Block Storage using the Scaleway APIs and the Scaleway CLI.
