Why people move off virtual machines

The whole CPU

All cores, all cache, full turbo behaviour, and performance counters that mean something. No steal time.

Unmetered, not 'generous'

25 Gbit/s with no transfer allowance to exceed. Saturate it for a month if your workload needs to.

Storage that is yours

Local NVMe with no shared IOPS budget. A four-drive machine does 2.8 M random reads per second, every second.

IPMI and serial

Out-of-band console, virtual media and power control, included and rate-limited only by common sense.

Hourly billing

Deploy for an afternoon of benchmarking and pay for an afternoon. Monthly commitment is optional, not implied.

Private networking

Layer-2 VLANs between your machines at 25 Gbit/s, free, with no per-gigabyte charge.

Before you deploy

Yes. There is no transfer allowance and no overage rate. The only constraint is the port speed you bought.
