20 August 2025¶

This release introduces two new public compute offerings to the Porirua region (nz-por-1). These services are not currently available in the Hamilton region (nz-hlz-1).

C1A-GPU Compute¶

C1A-GPU is a new compute type featuring dedicated NVIDIA RTX A6000 GPUs and AMD EPYC “Milan” CPUs. This is an excellent value offering for accessing GPU acceleration at a lower cost compared to C3-GPU. It is also supported by Kubernetes worker nodes.

C1A-GPU compute is currently offered as a Beta service and is subject to our Beta conditions.

C3 Compute¶

C3 is our latest general compute offering featuring dedicated performance with modern Intel Xeon ‘Sapphire Rapids’ series processors . To utilise C3 simply select a c3 flavor when deploying new server instances. Existing servers can also be resized, but note that the virtual hardware and network interface topology within the server may change to accomodate for the more modern capabilities of C3 compute.
