VPS Fundamentals
An EDBB Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a virtual machine with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage carved from enterprise hardware. You get root/Administrator access, your own operating system, and isolation from other customers.
What You Get with an EDBB VPS
⚙️ Dedicated Resources
CPU cores, RAM, and NVMe storage are reserved for your VPS—no noisy neighbors.
🖥️ Full OS Control
Boot Linux or Windows images, upload ISOs, or restore qcow2 snapshots without restrictions.
🌍 Advanced Networking
IPv4 + /64-equivalent IPv6, optional VLANs, and the ability to add secondary addresses.
🔐 Rescue & Console
Access the noVNC console, mount rescue ISOs, and recover even when SSH/RDP is offline.
📈 Easy Scaling
Upgrade CPU, RAM, or storage from the portal without rebuilding from scratch.
🛠️ Automation Ready
Use Cloud-Init, API hooks, or configuration management tools to deploy consistently.
Common VPS Workloads
- Web platforms and SaaS applications
- Databases and caching services (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis)
- CI/CD runners and automation jobs
- Game and voice servers
- VPN gateways and security appliances
- Learning labs or certification sandboxes
