Manage scalable development environments with IONOS Cloud Cubes to meet specific software requirements. We provide you with cost-effective virtual servers that you can use as independent computing capacity for workloads such as development and test environments (incl. integration into the CI/CD pipeline). Use our easily configurable server-and-storage system to the extent you need at any time.
IONOS Cloud Cubes works by default with an attached NVMe volume, which can be expanded with HDD or SSD network block storage as needed.
Map out simple workloads such as web applications and easily link to production environments. IONOS Cloud Cubes are fully integrated into our cloud data centers, taking over specific workloads and running in tandem with the Compute Engine in the same virtual data center. This allows you to harness enterprise-grade features like backups and network performance.
Based on an array of templates, we provide you with preconfigured cubes for your project with the right mix of hardware and high performance — which can be adapted as your requirements change.
Using Cloud-Init, you can script and execute various parameters during the initial provisioning of a cloud instance. This way, you don’t have to set up parameter values manually after provisioning one or more instances.
You can also create or change new or active users or security settings, update and install Linux VMs using one or more package files, and set owner and file permissions for web directories.
When creating a new virtual instance from a public Linux image, Cloud-Init can be easily accessed via the Cloud API, SDKs, and config management tools as well as the Data Center Designer (DCD). This means a corresponding configuration file can be transferred as part of the provisioning process.
Cloud-Init is optional and free.
