CPU VMs

Crusoe Cloud offers two CPU-only instance types: c1a and s1a. c1a instances are "general purpose" and intended to be used for control planes, web serving, and other lightweight compute. s1a instances are "storage specific" and intended for running high performance file systems like Lustre or ceph, or object stores like minio.

Customers can create c1a VMs with the following specs:

TypevCPUMemoryDiskVPC NetworkBlock Storage Network

c1a.4x4-core AMD (Genoa)16GBN/A2 Gbps1 Gbps

Customers can create s1a VMs with the following specs:

VM lifecycle

VMs transition through the following states:

StateDescription
CreatingThe VM is being created. This can take up to a minute. After the VM has been created, it will transition to the Stopped state
StartingThe VM is being started. Once it has started, it will transition to Running.
RunningThe VM is running and accessible. You can now SSH into it and run your desired software. The VM will continue to run until you stop it.
StoppingThe VM is being shut down, and no more customer work will be performed. Once it has shut down, it will transition to Stopped.
StoppedThe VM is stopped and inaccessible. You must manually start it to change the state. Stopped VMs aren't billed for hourly compute charges.

VM billing

Crusoe Cloud bills for VM usage in two separate ways:

  • On-demand
  • Reservations

On-demand usage provides developers the most flexibility. VMs are charged for the hour (or fraction of an hour, down to the second) that their machine is in the running state. This includes time that the VM is spent running Lifecycle Scripts on startup or shutdown. Stopped VMs are not charged for on-demand usage, but you will still be billed for the 128GB OS disk at $0.08/GiB/month until the VM is deleted.

Reservations offer discounts in exchange for committed usage. These VMs are billed for the entire duration of the commitment, regardless of their state. Learn more about reservations.

A VM may only be billed via one of these mechanisms (on-demand or reservation) at a time, but different VMs in the same organization may be billed differently.
