Deploy a shared CPU Vultr Cloud Compute instance for blogs and dev setups via Console, API, CLI, or Terraform.
Vultr Cloud Compute instances are shared CPU virtual machines designed for demanding applications with bursty performance, such as low-traffic websites, blogs, CMS, development/test environments, and small databases. Vultr Cloud Compute instances are capable of running general purpose applications without specific CPU, memory or storage performance restrictions.
Follow this guide to provision Vultr Cloud Compute instances using the Vultr Console, API, CLI, or Terraform.
Navigate to Products and click Compute.
Click Deploy.
Choose Shared CPU as the instance type.
Select your desired Vultr location to deploy the instance to.
Select a plan category from the sidebar:
Cloud Compute: Virtual Machines powered by previous generation Intel CPUs and regular SSD, and offer a good balance of price and performance.
High Frequency: Virtual Machines with a higher clock speed (>3Ghz) for CPU intensive applications and ultra fast NVMe storage.
High Performance: Virtual Machines powered by the latest generation Intel Xeon CPUs or AMD EPYC CPUs and ultra fast NVMe storage.
Select a plan from the available options based on your vCPU, memory, storage, and bandwidth requirements.
Click Configure Software.
Select a cloud image to install on the instance based on the following options:
Operating System: Installs a fresh operating system image on the instance.
Marketplace Apps: Installs a prebuilt software stack or application and the recommended operating system image on the instance.
ISO/iPXE: Boots a specific ISO available or iPXE-compatible image on the instance.
ISO Library: Installs a specific ISO image from the Vultr ISOs library.
Backup: Recovers a specific backup available in your Vultr account to the instance.
Snapshot: Installs a specific snapshot available in your Vultr account to the instance.
Select optional Server Settings to apply on the instance.
SSH Keys: Installs a specific SSH key on the instance.
Startup Script: Enables a startup script to execute at deployment or a PXE script to automate the operating system installation.
Firewall Group: Activates a Vultr Firewall group to filter incoming network traffic on the instance.
Enter a new hostname in the Server Hostname field and a descriptive label in the Server Label field to identify the instance.
Configure Additional Features for the instance.
Instance Connectivity: Select how the instance connects to the internet.
Instance(s) with Public IP: Assigns public IP addresses directly to the instance. Under Instance Address, Public IPv4 is enabled by default. Select Public IPv6 to enable IPv6 addressing. After selecting IPv6, you can optionally deselect Public IPv4 to create an IPv6-only instance.
Private Instance(s) behind NAT Gateway: Routes internet traffic through a NAT Gateway in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Network. Select an existing VPC Network with a NAT Gateway or click Add VPC Network to create a new one.
VPC Network: Connects the instance to a VPC Network in the current location.
Automatic Backups: Automatically creates backups for data recovery in case of instance failures.
DDoS Protection: Prevents potential Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks on the instance.
Limited User Login: Creates a linuxuser non-root user with sudo privileges as the default user account instead of root.
Cloud-Init User Data: Enables Cloud-Init user data to initialize and customize the instance at boot.
Click Deploy to provision the instance.
