Exoscale / compute
Quick Start
Learn how to start your first Linux-based instance on Exoscale Compute and connect via SSH, or how to deploy a Windows instance and access it with RDP.
Security Groups
Security Groups allow you to define and compose firewall rules. It is easy to manage incoming and outgoing traffic and to protect your cloud instances.
SSH Keypairs
SSH Keypairs are a convenient way to secure access to your Exoscale instances instead of using passwords. Learn how to use SSH Keypairs.

Exoscale Compute Quick Start
Learn how to start your first Linux-based instance on Exoscale Compute and connect via SSH, or how to deploy a Windows instance and access it with RDP.
Instance Pools
Learn how to use Instance Pools on Exoscale Compute. Group identical compute instances automatically. Scale up and down dynamically.
Network Load Balancer
A Network Load Balancer is a Layer 4 load balancer that distributes incoming traffic to compute instances managed by an Instance Pool
SSH Keypairs
SSH Keypairs are a convenient way to secure access to your Exoscale instances instead of using passwords. Learn how to use SSH Keypairs.
Security Groups and Firewalling
Security Groups allow you to define and compose firewall rules. It is easy to manage incoming and outgoing traffic and to protect your cloud instances.
Firewalling Examples with Security Groups
Discover how to use Security Groups firewalls to allow ICMP messages like ping, or TCP traffic, to and from your Exoscale instances.
Outbound Security Rules
Security Groups firewalls allow all outgoing traffic unless an outgoing rule is declared. Some rules are mandatory to deploy your SSH key and set the password.
Cloud-Init and User-Data
Cloud-Init handles initialization of your Exoscale instance, letting you configure it on first boot using User-Data or scripts directly from our interface.
Anti-Affinity Groups
Anti-Affinity Groups let you specify which Exoscale instances should run on separate hypervisors. Learn how to manage these groups using Exoscale.
Scaling an Instance
Learn how to scale up CPU, memory or disk space of your instance. Exoscale Compute makes it easy to scale up your cloud server to your needs.
Elastic IPs
Create additional IP addresses, attach them to any instance, move them from one instance to another.
Elastic IPv6 Prefixes
Create additional IPv6 prefixes, attach them to one or more Compute instances.
IPv6
Enable IPv6 on your instances. You can enable IPv6 on new or existing Exoscale instances. Learn more about IPv6 on Exoscale.
Instance Tags
Associate key/value pairs to an instance, either from the interface or the API. Query and use them as metadata to help manage your instances.
Labels
Associate key/value labels to a resource, either from the interface or the API
Private Networks
Create Private Networks that are shared only with your own instances. Provision unmanaged or managed network interfaces for your instances.
Snapshots
Find out how to create and delete Snapshots to get point-in-time recovery for your Exoscale Compute instances, straight from our intuitive web interface.
Rescue Mode
Learn how to recover access to an instance which does not allow network access by enabling Exoscale rescue mode.
Exoscale Flexible Storage template
Debian-based template, leveraging a UEFI/GPT partition table and LVM partitioning for flexible storage management.
Custom Templates
Exoscale provides various compute instance templates to choose from. Learn how to create and register a custom compute template to Exoscale.
