Instance types | ibee | Documentation

IBEE Cloud VM instance types come in two families: Standard for balanced everyday workloads and Performance for compute-optimized workloads that need higher CPU density. Every instance type ships with included disk and bandwidth.

Standard VMs — Network Bandwidth

Reliable virtual machines with balanced vCPU and memory — the right default for most production workloads. Each plan ships with a private-network ceiling that scales with size and a default 100 Mbps public-network NIC.

Plan	Private Network	Public Network	Upgradable Public
`std.1.c2.m8`	Up to 5 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`std.1.c4.m16`	Up to 10 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`std.1.c8.m32`	Up to 20 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`std.1.c16.m64`	Up to 25 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`std.1.c32.m128`	Up to 40 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`std.1.c64.m256`	Up to 40 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales

std.1.c4.m16 is the most popular choice for new production deployments.

Performance VMs — Network Bandwidth

Compute-optimized virtual machines with stronger CPU density, for workloads that need faster processing per core. Each plan ships with a private-network ceiling proportional to size and a default 100 Mbps public-network NIC.

Plan	Private Network	Public Network	Upgradable Public
`perf.1.c1.m2`	Up to 2 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`perf.1.c2.m4`	Up to 5 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`perf.1.c4.m8`	Up to 10 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`perf.1.c8.m16`	Up to 20 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`perf.1.c16.m32`	Up to 25 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`perf.1.c32.m64`	Up to 40 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales
`perf.1.c64.m128`	Up to 40 Gbps	100 Mbps (default)	On request to sales

perf.1.c4.m8 is the most popular Performance plan.

Reading the columns

Column	Meaning
Private Network	Maximum bandwidth between VMs in the same region over the IBEE backplane.
Public Network	Default outbound bandwidth on the public NIC. Inbound is unmetered.
Upgradable Public	The public NIC can be raised above 100 Mbps — contact IBEE sales to request a higher tier.

vCPU, RAM, and disk for each plan are encoded in the plan name (see Naming convention).

Choosing a family

Pick Standard if…	Pick Performance if…
Workload is memory-balanced (typical web/API/database)	Workload is CPU-bound and scales with cores
You want the broadest fit for production	You need higher per-core throughput
You expect mixed CPU and RAM usage	RAM is comfortable but CPU is the bottleneck

For GPU-accelerated workloads (training, inference, rendering), see GPU VMs.

Naming convention

Plan names follow <family>.<gen>.c<vCPU>.m<RAM-GiB>:

std.1.c4.m16 — Standard family, generation 1, 4 vCPU, 16 GiB RAM.
perf.1.c8.m16 — Performance family, generation 1, 8 vCPU, 16 GiB RAM.

The generation number changes when the underlying hardware platform is refreshed.

What’s included

Every plan includes:

NVMe root disk sized per plan
Outbound bandwidth allowance per plan; inbound is unmetered
Public IPv4 address with reverse DNS
Snapshot and backup eligibility (Backups, Snapshots)
Console access in the IBEE Cloud portal

Storage beyond the included disk is added separately as Block Storage.

Resizing between plans

You can move a running VM to a larger plan from Settings → Change Plan. The VM is briefly stopped, resources are upgraded, and it restarts on the new plan. Disk size grows with the new plan; CPU and RAM are updated atomically. See Resize a VM.
