Bare Metal Servers

Bare Metal Machines are physical servers with no virtualization. In the EO Cloud, Bare Metal Machines are nearly as easy to provision and run as the virtual ones. They can be started from standard OS images and connect to Virtual Networks. Users can perform actions such as start/stop/reboot/reinstall etc. Some of the standard actions available for Virtual Machines (VMs) such as snapshot are not available in Bare Metal Machines. Bare Metal Machines are available for immediate provisioning in 3 predefined configurations.

Performance depends on the machine flavor selected. Bare Metal Machines are available with 1 or 2 physical processors, up to 8 cores per processor, up to 1TB of RAM, and 1 or 10Gbps network interfaces. The performance of these machines is neither limited by resource sharing nor by the overhead of a hypervisor. They may be based on the same OS templates as normal VMs and connected to the same private tenant Virtual Networks as VMs.

Bare Metal Machines are exclusively dedicated to a single tenant with no resource overbooking. This make them especially suitable for tasks where high, predictable performance is expected.
