vCPU and RAM - Rules for creating/editing

RAM for VM always on
1. Resources can only be downgraded if the resources have been freed-up first, and the ratio between vCPU and RAM must always been respected.

Virtual Private Cloud - Standard or in Business Continuity: the ratio between the vCPU and RAM must be at least 1 to 1.5. An increase in the vCPU will therefore result in an increase in RAM.
Virtual Private Cloud for Disaster Recovery: the ratio between the vCPU 50% guaranteed and RAM for Disaster Recovery must be at least 1 to 1.5. An increase in the vCPU 50% guaranteed will therefore result in an increase in RAM for Disaster Recovery.
When creating/editing a Virtual Private Cloud - Standard or in Business Continuity, increases in vCPU/RAM can be made in units of 1.
When creating/editing a Virtual Private Cloud for Disaster Recovery, increases in vCPU guaranteed at 50%/RAM for Disaster Recovery can be made in units of 1.

Storage - Rules for creating/editing

Up to 6 storage items (from the six types available) or up to 4 storage items for Virtual Private Cloud version 2.0 can be purchased.
At least one storage item must be the minimum size required.
Increments must be in multiples of the minimum increment permitted.
The dimensions of a storage item can be increased or decreased when editing.
A storage item can be deleted when editing.

VLAN

The Virtual Private Cloud service is created with 5 VLANs included. Additional VLANs can be requested by contacting support.

Shared network - Rules for creating/editing

There is only ever one shared public network, both during the creation phase and when being edited.
The shared network is created with 4 public IPs (cannot be edited) included in the price.
Up to 100 additional public IPs can be purchased when creating.
Additional public IPs can be increased, reduced or deleted when editing.

Firewall Protection

When creating a shared public network, the system automatically assigns a basic Firewall with an option to customize firewalling rules, NAT, VPN and high-performance load balancing.

Dedicated network

Additional dedicated public networks can be added when creating/editing the service.
Dedicated public networks can be deleted when editing.
Each dedicated public network is created with a minimum of 16 public IPs.
The number of public IPs can be increased on creation.
The number of public IPs assigned on creation can be changed when editing.

Public IPs

Connection type:

The dedicated public network will be one of those available to the virtual data center;
The dedicated public network will be certified on a Gateway Edge interface.

Firewall

When a dedicated public network is created, a firewall must be provided.
