Two web servers behind a load balancer look redundant on a diagram. But if both VMs happen to land on the same physical host, one hardware fault takes out both, and you usually find that out during the outage. HA Groups fix this. Put VMs that back each other up in a group, and each…
If you’ve run high availability on Linux, you know the pattern. Two servers share a virtual IP, and VRRP decides which one holds it. When the active server fails, the standby claims the address within seconds, and clients keep connecting to the same IP. You can now build that on Cloud VPS. A floating IP…

The new Activity Log keeps a complete chronological record of every action in your cloud service, and clearer operational feedback tells you how each action went while it runs.…
A batch of networking updates just landed in the client area. Most of them share a theme: things that used to need a support ticket are now buttons. Swap NIC: move an identity between VMs Migrating to a new server usually ends with the nervous part: getting the old machine’s addresses onto the new one.…
