Virtual Machines Overview
Images, sizing profiles, disks, and everything that makes up a VM on the platform.
View Service DetailsVirtual machines are the core compute unit on DAAKYI Cloud. Each VM runs on the hyperconverged cluster with its disks stored on replicated distributed storage, which means any VM can restart on another node if its host fails, and can live-migrate between nodes with no downtime.
Supported Operating Systems
| Family | Images |
|---|---|
| Windows Server | 2016, 2019, 2022 (Desktop Experience and Core) |
| Ubuntu | 20.04 LTS, 22.04 LTS, 24.04 LTS |
| Enterprise Linux | Rocky Linux 8/9, AlmaLinux 8/9, RHEL (bring your own subscription) |
| Debian | 11, 12 |
| Custom | Import your own images in QCOW2, VMDK, or OVA format |
Sizing Profiles
VMs are sized by vCPU and memory. Standard profiles cover most workloads; custom sizing is available for anything in between.
| Profile | vCPU | Memory | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 2 | 4 GB | Web servers, small services |
| Medium | 4 | 8 GB | Application servers |
| Large | 8 | 16 GB | Databases, busy applications |
| XLarge | 16 | 32 GB | Large databases, analytics |
| Custom | up to 64 | up to 512 GB | Sized to your workload |
Disks
Every VM has one system disk and up to 15 additional data disks. Disks live on distributed block storage with multiple replicas, are thin-provisioned (you consume only what you write), and can be expanded online without stopping the VM. See the Storage section for details.
Templates and Cloning
Turn any configured VM into a template under Compute → Templates, then stamp out identical VMs from it. Cloning an existing VM (full clone) copies its disks; both operations are the fastest way to reproduce a golden configuration.
Guest tools are pre-installed in platform images. They enable graceful shutdown, hot-add of CPU and memory, IP reporting in the console, and file-system-consistent snapshots.
