Leaseweb Public Cloud [New]

Public Cloud instances are delivered on our next-generation cloud platform, designed for high availability, reliability, and performance. The platform utilizes fast central storage to provide consistent performance, operational flexibility, and scalability.

Instances can be provisioned, modified, and terminated on demand, allowing customers to rapidly adapt their infrastructure to changing business requirements.

Public Cloud Instance

An instance is a virtual machine capable of running cloud-based applications.

Instances are computing resources hosted on Leaseweb-owned infrastructure and are available either through Saving Plans commitments or on-demand hourly billing.

Instances can be launched from multiple resource types, including:

• Images
• Volumes
• Volume Snapshots

Customers can manage instances through the Public Cloud Portal or OpenStack API.

Instance Types

Public Cloud offers a range of instance families designed to meet different workload requirements.

1. General Purpose instances provide a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources, and can be used for a wide range of workloads.
   
2. Compute Optimized instances are ideal for applications where computing needs are higher than memory needs and benefit from large quantities of processors.
   
3. Memory Optimized instances are designed to deliver fast performance for workloads that process large data sets in memory.

Instance Naming

Examples:

lsw.m4i.large	General purpose, platform V4, Intel, Large
lsw.c6a.12xlarge	Compute optimized, platform V6a, AMD, 12xLarge
lsw.r5.xlarge	Memory optimized, platform V5, Intel, Xlarge

Platforms

Each of our platforms (vintages) has different capabilities: ​

• CPU generation and model
• Max size of the instance
• Network public up-link speed

Vintage	CPU Generation	Public Port Speed	Max Cores & Memory	Max Instance Size
3i	Intel Sandy Bridge Intel Ivy Bridge	1 Gbps	32 Cores 64 GiB	m.2xlarge c.4xlarge r.2xlarge
4i	Intel Haswel lIntel Broadwell	2 Gbps	32 Cores 64 GiB	m.4xlarge c.4xlarge r.2xlarge
5i	Intel Skylake Intel Cascade Lake	5 Gbps	32 Cores 64 GiB	m.4xlarge c.4xlarge r.2xlarge
5a	AMD Epyc V2	5 Gbps	48 Cores 384 GiB	m.12xlarge c.12xlarge r.12xlarge
6a	AMD Epyc V3	10 Gbps	96 Cores 768 GiB	m.24xlarge c.24xlarge r.24xlarge
7a	AMD Epyc 9004	10 Gbps	64 Cores 512 GiB	m.16xlarge c.16xlarge r.16xlarge

Availability Zones

Public Cloud resources are available across multiple Availability Zones (AZs), providing increased resiliency and workload distribution options.

Current Availability Zones:

• AMS-01
• AMS-02

Availability Zones are isolated infrastructure domains designed to improve fault tolerance and support high-availability architectures.

Network

All Public Cloud instances are connected to our state-of-the-art network. For more information about network, please visit the Leaseweb website.

Data Traffic

Public Cloud instances include 1 TB for pooled Internet traffic, meaning instances from your contract will share 1 TB data pack across sales organizations. Incoming traffic for Public Cloud is free of charge, while outgoing traffic is charged per GB. Additional usage is surcharged according to the pricing on the website.

Traffic Restrictions

We apply some traffic restrictions to provide you with a better virtual server network isolation, such as:

• Blocking traffic from IP addresses not belonging to the virtual server.
• Blocking broadcast/multicast traffic types between virtual servers in the same subnet.

Firewall

Leaseweb offers free Basic Firewall functionality as a feature for virtual servers to provide basic filtering functionality. For more information on free Basic Firewalls, refer to the article on Firewalls.

OpenStack API Access

Public Cloud provides direct OpenStack API access, enabling customers to automate infrastructure deployment and management using industry-standard tools and SDKs.

Billing Options

On-Demand (Hourly) Billing	Resources are billed based on actual usage and can be provisioned or terminated at any time.
Saving Plans	Available for: Instance Types, Public IPs and Storage Volumes. Customers can reduce infrastructure costs by committing to specific resources for a defined period.

Service Level Agreement (SLA)

To keep your instances connected 24/7, Leaseweb’s Basic Service Level Agreement is provided at no additional charge. For additional support, there are multiple levels of SLAs. For further information, refer to the article on Service Level Agreement (SLA).
