Image management commands

Images are backups of your instances. You can reuse that image to restore your data or create a series of instances with a predefined configuration.

An image is a complete backup of your server including all volumes.

Placement group management commands

Placement groups allow the user to express a preference regarding the physical position of a group of instances. It'll let the user choose to either group instances on the same physical hardware for best network throughput and low latency or to spread instances on far away hardware to reduce the risk of physical failure.

The operating mode is selected by a policy_type. Two policy types are available:

  • low_latency will group instances on the same hypervisors
  • max_availability will spread instances on far away hypervisors

The policy_type is set by default to max_availability.

For each policy types, one of the two policy_mode may be selected:

  • optional will start your instances even if the constraint is not respected
  • enforced guarantee that if the instance starts, the constraint is respected

The policy_mode is set by default to optional.

Server management commands

Server types are denomination of the different instances we provide. Scaleway offers Virtual Cloud and dedicated GPU instances.

Virtual Cloud Instances

Virtual cloud instances are offering the best performance/price ratio for most workloads. Different instance ranges are proposed:

  • The Development instances range provides stable and consistent performance for development and testing needs. Spin up a development or test environment within seconds. Refer to the Development Instance offer details for more information.

  • The General Purpose instances range is the solution for production workloads. Powerful AMD EPYC CPUs back those instances and offer up to 48 Cores, 256GB of RAM and storage options up to 600GB of replicated local NVMe SSD storage and/or up to 10TB of Block Storage. Refer to the General Purpose offer details for more information.

  • The Enterprise instances range is the solution for most demanding workloads and mission-critical applications. Powerful AMD EPYC CPUs back those instances and offer up to 96 Cores, 384GB of RAM and up to 10TB of Block Storage. Refer to the Enterprise offer details for more information.

Dedicated GPU Instances

Scaleway GPU Instances are virtual compute instances equipped with dedicated high-end Nvidia graphical processing unit (GPUs). They are ideal for data processing, artificial intelligence, rendering and video encoding. The GPU is dedicated to each instance and directly exposed through PCI-e. For more information, refer to the GPU Instances Developper Documentation.

Snapshot management commands

Snapshots contain the data of a specific volume at a particular point in time. The data can include the instance's operating system, configuration information or files stored on the volume.

A snapshot can be done from a specific volume (for example you have a server with a volume containing the OS and another one containing the application data, and you want to use different snapshot strategies on both volumes).

A snapshot's volume type can be either its original volume's type (l_ssd or b_ssd) or unified. Similarly, volumes can be created as well from snapshots of their own type or unified. Therefore, to migrate data from a l_ssd volume to a b_ssd volume, one can create a unified snapshot from the original volume and a new b_ssd volume from this snapshot. The newly created volume will hold a copy of the data of the original volume.

User data management commands

User data is a key value store API you can use to provide data from and to your server without authentication.

As an example of use, Scaleway images contain the script scw-generate-ssh-keys which generates SSH server’s host keys then stores their fingerprints as user data under the key “ssh-host-fingerprints”. This way, we ensure they are really connecting to their Scaleway instance and they are not victim of a man-in-the-middle attack.

There are two endpoints to access user data:

  • From a running instance, by using the metadata API at http://169.254.42.42/user_data. To enhance security, we only allow user data viewing and editing as root. To know if the query is issued by the root user, we only accept queries made from a local port below 1024 (by default, non-root users can’t bind ports below 1024). To specify the local port with cURL, use curl --local-port 1-1024 http://169.254.42.42/user_data
  • From the instance API at using methods described bellow.

Volume management commands

A volume is where you store your data inside your instance. It appears as a block device on Linux that you can use to create a filesystem and mount it.

We have two different types of volume (volume_type):

  • l_ssd is a local block storage: your data is downloaded on the hypervisor and you need to power off your instance to attach or detach a volume.
  • b_ssd is a remote block storage: your data is stored on a centralised cluster. You can plug and unplug a volume while your instance is running. As of today, b_ssd is only available for DEV1, GP1 and RENDER offers.

note: The unified volume type is not available for volumes. This type can only be used on snapshots.

Minimum and maximum volume sizes for each volume types can be queried from the zone /products/volumes API endpoint. I.e for:

Each types of volumes is also subject to a global quota for the sum of all the volumes. This quota depends of the level of support and may be changed on demand.

Be wary that when terminating an instance, if you want to keep your block storage volume, you must detach it beforehand you issue the terminate call.

When using multiple block devices, it's advised to mount them by using their UUID instead of their device name. A device name is subject to change depending on the volumes order. Block devices UUIDs can be found in /dev/disk/by-id/.
