Enterprise Virtualisation
Instances run on Nutanix AHV hyper-converged clusters operated by Suburban in Abuja.
Virtual Machines
Suburban Elastic Compute provides Linux and Windows Virtual Machines hosted in our Abuja Data Centre. Each instance runs on enterprise Nutanix infrastructure with NVMe storage, includes full administrative access and is billed in Naira by the hour or by the month.
Overview
Elastic Compute is suited to application servers, line-of-business systems, development environments and any workload that requires full control of the operating system. Instances are provisioned from the Suburban Console or the API, connected to private networks and managed alongside your other Suburban Cloud services.
Getting Started
- 1.Select an operating system image and an instance size in the Suburban Console.
- 2.Choose a private network, security groups and SSH keys, and specify whether a public IP address is required.
- 3.Connect over SSH or from the console, then resize, take snapshots or attach volumes as your requirements change.
Key Features
NVMe Block Storage
Boot disks and additional volumes are hosted on NVMe storage. Snapshots can be taken before changes and restored from the console.
Browser-Based Access
Administrators can open an SSH session directly from the console without a local client or VPN.
Recovery Console
A VNC console provides access to each instance at the hardware level, including when network access is unavailable.
Automated Configuration
SSH keys and cloud-init scripts can be supplied at launch so that servers are configured on first boot.
