The Per-VM Setup

Per-VM provisioning from a cloud-init template — OS install, network and storage configuration, basic hardening, monitoring agent, and a documentation entry — priced per VM.

Each VM is provisioned from a cloud-init template — either one from The Cloud-Init Template Library or one you already maintain — with network and storage configuration applied, a basic hardening pass run, the monitoring agent installed, and a documentation entry added for the new VM. If you already maintain your own templates and just need the provisioning done, self-serve is genuinely fast; this service exists for the cases where you don't have templates yet, or want every VM built to the same standard rather than however each admin happens to set one up. It's provisioned using the same trusted workflow every time, whether it's your first VM or your fiftieth. Pricing is per VM, and bundle rates apply at larger counts — worth asking about if you're provisioning more than a handful at once. If you don't yet have templates, pairing this with The Cloud-Init Template Library first means every VM after that build starts from a tested image rather than a manual install.

FAQ

How fast is delivery?
Standard delivery is within 5 weekday hours per VM. Express delivery — within 3 weekday hours — costs 25% more.
Do we need templates already, or do you build them?
If you already have cloud-init templates, provisioning uses them directly. If not, pair this with The Cloud-Init Template Library first — this service covers only the provisioning step.
Is there a discount for provisioning many VMs at once?
Bundle rates apply at larger counts — ask when scoping if you're provisioning more than a handful.
What counts as one VM under this service?
One provisioned VM instance, from template through documentation entry. Additional post-provisioning configuration beyond the standard baseline is scoped separately.
