Overview

StrataGateway Cloud Compute is being designed to provide virtual machine instances with predictable performance, straightforward configuration, and developer-friendly control.

Instance lifecycle

Preview

Provisioning

The instance is being prepared.

Running

The instance is powered on and reachable when networking is configured.

Stopped

The instance is powered off but retained.

Rebuilding

Deferred until image, SSH, network, snapshot, and replacement semantics are implemented.

Deleting

The instance and associated compute resources are being removed.

Error

Provisioning or lifecycle operation failed.

Compute plans

Compute plans define CPU, memory, and local storage resources for an instance. Final specifications and availability may change before launch.

Planned plan families

Images

Images define the operating system installed during provisioning. Custom images and snapshots may be introduced later as the platform roadmap matures.

Regions

A region represents a physical infrastructure location used to host compute resources.

Storage

Local instance storage

Storage attached directly to the compute host for the instance runtime environment.

Block Storage

Planned

Persistent volumes designed to be attached independently from the instance lifecycle.

Block Storage docs

Object Storage

Preview

API-accessible storage for application data and static objects.

Object Storage docs

Networking

  • Public IPv4 / IPv6 where available
  • Private networking
  • Firewall policies
  • Region-aware networking
  • Future inter-region connectivity

Networking capabilities documented here represent the planned platform architecture.

SSH access

SSH key authentication is the recommended access method for Linux instances.

SSH access

SSH accessBash
ssh [email protected]

SSH access with explicit key

SSH access with explicit keyBash
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 [email protected]

Documentation example

The example IP uses the reserved documentation range and does not represent a real StrataGateway instance.

Password-based root login should not be relied upon for production infrastructure.

SSH key management

Lifecycle actions

Preview

Preview controls

Start

Power on a stopped instance.

Preview

Stop

Power off the instance using the provider stop semantic.

Preview

Reboot

Restart the operating system using the provider reboot operation.

Preview

Rebuild

Deferred; replacement and bootstrap semantics are not implemented.

Planned

Delete

Permanently remove the instance.

Preview

Deleting an instance is intended to be irreversible. Persistent storage behavior will depend on the attached storage configuration.
