Frequently asked questions
IBM Cloud Virtual Server for VPC explained
What are the benefits of choosing virtual servers on IBM Cloud VPC?
IBM Cloud Virtual Server for VPC lets you provision virtual servers across an infrastructure with the security of a private cloud and the agility of a public cloud. Your workloads and applications are logically isolated from other networks, and you can quickly provision resources with maximum scale and flexibility.
What are the network differences between virtual servers on IBM Cloud VPC and other IBM Cloud Virtual Server offerings?
IBM Cloud Virtual Server on our classic infrastructure operates on native subnet and virtual LAN (VLAN) networking to communicate within a data center and single pod. IBM Cloud Virtual Server for VPC operates with an additional network orchestration layer that eliminates the pod boundary, creating increased capacity for scaling instances.
What are my deployment options on IBM Cloud Virtual Server for VPC?
You can deploy multi-tenant virtual servers based on your workload profile requirements. Or you can deploy single-tenant dedicated hosts to carve out compute capacity for specific security permissions and workload purposes.
