The fundamentals of VM Instances
VM Instances is a shared compute offering based on OpenSource hypervisors and Cisco UCS compute blades. It allows you to consume computing resources on demand without having to worry about managing the underlying infrastructure. The service is designed to offer maximum flexibility with pricing tailored to usage, while guaranteeing a high level of security.
- For development teams, it industrialises the creation of test, integration and acceptance environments, offering flexible resources at controlled cost to accelerate delivery cycles.
- For web and application teams, it reliably hosts business applications and websites, combining stable performance and resource elasticity to match load.
- For data-intensive applications, It provides a robust basis for databases and Big Data processing, with templates adapted to computing and memory requirements.
Our compliance procedures
Our VM Instances offering is HDS and ISO 27001 certified. The service is also in the process of SecNumCloud qualification and C5 compliance.

Use cases
Virtual machines that are sovereign, flexible and easy to operate.
VM Instances lets you deploy your virtual machines on a high-performance shared infrastructure, hosted in France and in the process of SecNumCloud qualification, without managing the hypervisor or the underlying hardware.
You combine several classes of service (Development, General Purpose, Performance) to address both test environments and critical applications, while benefiting from native integration with the VPC, the API and the Terraform Cloud provider.
As soon as agility, performance and sovereignty become critical.
You need it when you need to rapidly create test, recipe or production environments, host web applications, databases or Big Data processing, without investing in a new physical infrastructure.
This offering is essential for businesses and public sector bodies looking for a sovereign computing platform that combines the flexibility of a public cloud with the security guarantees of a French cloud.
Faster time-to-market, optimised costs and easier compliance.
Industrialised deployment (immediate provisioning via the console or API) dramatically reduces your time-to-production and project times.
The different performance classes and monthly capped usage billing mean that you can fine-tune your costs to actual consumption, while respecting your sovereignty and security requirements.
A progressive path, from experiment to run.
The project begins by selecting your first use cases (dev/test, web production, data, etc.) and choosing the appropriate classes of service and flavours, in conjunction with your teams and Cloud Temple experts.
You then deploy your first VMs from the Marketplace or via Terraform, and gradually extend the scope (adding volumes, VPC network integration, automation, backups) as your workloads migrate to the platform.
Commissioning in just a few minutes.
As soon as your tenant and Standard support contract are active, you can create your first VMs directly from the Cloud Temple console.
OS templates from the Marketplace, preconfigured service classes and Terraform integration mean you can get your first environments up and running in no time.
A service hosted entirely in the Cloud Temple cloud.
No, the computing, storage and network resources used by VM Instances are provided by the Temple Cloud infrastructure based on Cisco UCS blades and high-performance shared block storage.
Your on-premise infrastructure can continue to operate in parallel or be slimmed down according to your migration strategy, with no technical dependency between your Cloud Temple VMs and your existing servers.
