Compute

Edge Compute gives you on-demand Linux virtual machines with full root access. Choose your operating system, size your resources, and deploy in seconds. VMs run in a trusted infrastructure layer with points of presence around the world.

Features

Flexible Resource Sizing

Size your VM to match your workload. Start with 1 vCPU, 1GB RAM and 25GB storage, and scale up as your needs grow — all without downtime. Resources can be resized at any time from the control panel.

Multiple Operating Systems

Choose from a range of Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and more. New OS images are added regularly.

Startup Scripts

Automate your VM setup with startup scripts. Choose from a library of pre-built scripts — Docker, Node.js, LAMP, LEMP, WordPress, PostgreSQL, Redis, Python and more — or write your own custom scripts. Scripts run automatically on first boot.

SSH Key Management

Manage your SSH keys in the control panel and automatically inject them into new VMs for secure, passwordless access.

Real-Time Monitoring

Monitor CPU, RAM, disk and network usage in real time from the control panel. Get up-to-the-second performance data to optimise your deployments.

Security Groups

Control inbound and outbound traffic with security group rules. Define firewall policies and apply them across multiple VMs for consistent network security.

Resize and Scale

Scale your VM's resources up or down as your requirements change. Resize operations are performed with minimal disruption.

Getting Started

Sign in to the Edge control panel, navigate to Compute, and create your first VM. Full documentation is available at edge.network/docs.
