Public Cloud: our prices are changing on 1 October 2026

Our Public Cloud instance prices are changing on 1 October 2026. For identical configurations, the increase ranges from 1.4% to 21.9% depending on the size.

It does not apply to the price of compute, which remains unchanged, but to two resources previously included in our instances: local storage and the public IPv4 address, which are now billed separately.

This article details the prices, reference by reference. The reasons for this model change are explained in a previous article: Public Cloud, the end of all-inclusive.

The three-line model

The essentials, in three points.

The hourly price of instances does not change. It is identical before and after 1 October 2026, across all ranges.

Local storage and the public IPv4 address, previously included in the price of generation 3 instances (B3, C3, R3), become two separate billing lines. Local storage is becoming a full Local Low Latency storage class in the process.

The Savings Plans grid is simplified: two durations, 12 and 36 months, at -15% and -30%, applied to compute.

Component pricing

Local storage remains included on all previous ranges (B2, C2, R2 and earlier).

Local storage sizing

Today, the local storage capacity remains fixed by instance type, exactly as in our current catalogue: a b3-64 comes with 400 GB, regardless of your actual usage. We are working on an evolution that will allow this capacity to be chosen independently of the instance type, and even to start without a local disk for use cases that do not require one.

Flex instances already partially meet this need. Regardless of the instance type, their local disk is fixed at 50 GB: a b3-64 flex therefore includes 50 GB instead of 400 GB. You can therefore resize the instance from one type to another, upwards or downwards, without changing the local disk and you only pay for these 50 GB regardless of the instance size.

Savings Plans

The new price list applies from 1 September 2026.

Subscription to 1, 6 and 24-month commitment periods is no longer available.

The discount applies to compute. Local storage and the IPv4 address are invoiced excluding discount, at their actual price.

If you already hold a Savings Plan, your price and rate remain guaranteed until the end of your commitment. The details of the two schemes are explained in the first article.

The schedule

What this looks like, instance by instance

Amounts excluding tax, based on 730 hours per month, without commitment, for the local capacity currently attached to each instance type.

The increase is identical in euros for all instances with the same storage capacity: storage is capped at 400 GB, the IP address costs a fixed amount. It therefore weighs heavily on small configurations, where these two items represent a significant part of the bill, and much less on large ones.

Four concrete examples

Example 1: pack of an architecture with 3 to 4 front-end servers + 1 database

A classic architecture: three application instances exposed, each with its own IPv4 address, and a database accessible only via a private network.

Pack with 3 front-end + 2 databases:

With a 4th front-end (scaling):

Example 2: infrastructure with gateway and some private instances

A common pattern to limit damage: a single instance faces the Internet (the gateway), the rest of the traffic transits via a private network. Here, the gateway exposes a public IP; ten instances remain entirely private.

Complete pack - 1 gateway + 10 private instances:

The leverage: if the ten private instances carried a public IP instead of a gateway, the bill would rise to €869.70 instead of €860.70. Not assigning IPv4 addresses to instances that do not need them (access only via the gateway or private network) allows you to save approximately €2 per month per instance; and to secure your infrastructure by reducing the public exposure of services.

Example 3: the evolution of flex instances

Flex instances have a local disk fixed at 50 GB regardless of the size. Result: the storage line added on 1 October remains the same in euros (50 GB + 1 IPv4, i.e. approximately €7/month) for all sizes in the same family — unlike standard instances, where the local disk grows with the size. The larger the instance, the less this fixed amount weighs, and the percentage gap collapses much faster than in standard.

In direct comparison with the same instance in standard configuration (400 GB of local disk on large sizes): a b3-64 flex only increases by +2.3% against +14.9% for the standard b3-64 — the price to pay for this low ceiling is having only 50 GB of local storage, regardless of the instance's power. And if necessary, it remains possible to add remote Block Storage.

Example 4: a C3-8 Savings Plan - 12 months subscribed before the switch (1 July 2026)

A customer subscribes on 1 July 2026 to a 12-month Savings Plan under the old terms: -35% discount on the instance price, price and rate guaranteed until the end of the commitment, on 30 June 2027. This commitment therefore spans the switch on 1 October 2026.

Its rate does not change, nor does its compute price: both remain guaranteed. But from 1 October 2026, local storage and the IPv4 address are removed from the scope of the discount and are billed at the full rate. 

Upon renewal, on 1 July 2027, if they resubscribe to the new pricing grid (12 months, -15%, floating discount applied only to compute):
