Data-center Locations

Spot provides cloud capacity from the following data-center regions:

Generation-2 Data-centers (Shiny new, performance optimized infrastructure):

Generation-2 data-centers run the latest available hardware, with the latest available KVM hypervisors and current versions of OpenStack IaaS. Generation-2 hardware is available via:

  • United States - West (San Jose, CA)
  • United States - Central (Dallas, TX)
  • Coming soon - United States - Eastern (Ashburn, VA)

Notable Enhancements in Generation-2 Infrastructure

Generation-2 infrastructure features several enhancements vs Generation-1:

FeatureGeneration-2 UndercloudGeneration-1 Undercloud
Server hardware2024+ server computeOlder hardware (diverse vintages)
Serverclass consistencyConsistent CPU attributes for all instances of a ServerClassMix of different underlying hardware, inconsistent CPU attributes
Storage featuresNVMe ephemeral local storage NetApp based shared storage arraysNon NVMe local storage. Shared storage based on an old software defined storage project (pre-cursor to Ceph)
Networking

2x40 GigE network links on the underlying hardware

~3000 Mbps bandwidth per Server Class

2x10 GigE network links on the underlying hardware

~600 - 1000Mbps bandwidth per Server Class

Generation-1 Data-centers (Cost optimized infrastructure):

Generation-1 data-centers offer lower cost optimized infrastructure, with the lowest possible reserve prices:

  • United States - Eastern (Ashburn, VA)
  • United States - Central (Dallas, TX)
  • United States - Central (Chicago, IL)
  • Peoples Republic of China - Hong Kong
  • Australia - Sydney
  • UK - London
