Frequently Asked Questions

Thalassa Cloud's Virtual Machine Service is a fully managed cloud computing platform designed for European businesses. Our service offers features like flexible machine types, block storage integration, and advanced VPC networking.

We offer two instance type families:
  • Production General Purpose (PGP): High-performance instances with Intel Xeon Gold CPUs, ideal for production workloads requiring consistent performance and high availability.
  • Development General Purpose (DGP): Cost-effective instances with Intel Xeon E5 processors, perfect for development, testing, and small-scale production workloads.
Both families offer sizes from small (1 CPU, 2GB RAM) to 4xlarge (16 CPUs, 64GB RAM). See our pricing page for detailed specifications and pricing.

Our block storage integration provides:
  • Persistent block storage volumes that can be attached to any virtual machine
  • Volume snapshots for backup and disaster recovery
  • Easy volume resizing without downtime

You can deploy a new virtual machine in under a minute through our API or web console. Our automated provisioning system ensures consistent and reliable deployment every time. You can also use our API to automate VM creation as part of your CI/CD pipeline.

We support a wide range of Linux distributions:
  • Ubuntu - Popular Debian-based distribution with LTS releases
  • Debian - Stable and reliable distribution
  • CentOS / Rocky Linux - Enterprise-grade distributions
  • Fedora - Cutting-edge distribution with latest features
  • Additional Linux distributions are also supported
All images are regularly updated with security patches. Custom images through our image import service is part of our roadmap.

Yes, we fully support Cloud Init for automated instance initialization. Cloud Init allows you to:
  • Automatically configure instances on first boot
  • Install packages and run scripts
  • Configure users and SSH keys
  • Set up network configuration
  • Mount storage volumes
You can provide Cloud Init configuration when creating a virtual machine through our API or web console. This enables Infrastructure as Code workflows and automated deployments.

Yes, we provide full support for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling:
  • Terraform Provider - Official Terraform provider for managing all Thalassa Cloud resources, including virtual machines, networks, storage, and more
  • OpenTofu - Compatible with our Terraform provider
  • REST API - Full REST API for programmatic access to all services
  • Custom CLI - Command-line interface for automation and scripting
You can manage your entire infrastructure declaratively using Terraform, version control your infrastructure, and integrate with CI/CD pipelines. See our documentation for examples and guides.

Yes, absolutely! Virtual machines are perfect for running Kubernetes workloads:
  • Kubernetes Worker Nodes - Use virtual machines as worker nodes in your Kubernetes clusters
  • Self-Managed Kubernetes - Deploy and manage your own Kubernetes clusters on virtual machines
  • Managed Kubernetes - Our Managed Kubernetes service uses virtual machines as worker nodes
  • Mixed Instance Types - Mix Production (PGP) and Development (DGP) instances to optimize costs and performance
You can use any of our instance types for Kubernetes workloads, and combine them with our VPC networking, block storage, and load balancers for a complete Kubernetes platform. For a fully managed experience, check out our Managed Kubernetes as a Service.
