Virtual Private Cloud
Every RamNode cloud account includes full VPC capabilities. Build complete infrastructure with instances, storage, networking, and security—all working together seamlessly.
Built on Real OpenStack. Not a Proprietary Lock-In.
RamNode's cloud runs on OpenStack, the same open-source platform that powers enterprise and government clouds worldwide. That choice shapes everything about how your infrastructure behaves: standard APIs, portable workloads, and tooling that already works the way you expect.
Most budget cloud providers run their own closed control planes. DigitalOcean, Vultr, and Linode each built bespoke APIs and orchestration layers, which means the architecture you design on their platform only runs on their platform. With RamNode, you build on an open standard. The skills, scripts, and infrastructure-as-code you write here are the same ones used across the entire OpenStack ecosystem.
Why OpenStack Is the Difference
No Vendor Lock-In
Your infrastructure speaks a standard language. Because we expose native OpenStack APIs, the architecture you build is portable across any OpenStack cloud. You are never trapped rewriting Terraform modules or Ansible playbooks just because you switched providers.
Tooling That Already Works
Use the native openstack CLI, the OpenStack Terraform provider, the Ansible OpenStack collection, and Heat orchestration templates out of the box. No proprietary SDK to learn, no custom provider to wait on. If you already automate against OpenStack, you are productive on day one.
Enterprise Primitives, Budget Pricing
Floating IPs, block storage, object storage with an S3-compatible API, load balancers, security groups, and private networking are all first-class OpenStack services. You get the same building blocks the big clouds charge a premium for, at RamNode pricing.
True Multi-Tenancy and Isolation
OpenStack's project and tenancy model keeps your resources cleanly isolated. Private networks, dedicated security groups, and software-defined firewalls let you separate environments without exposing anything to the public internet.
VPC Components & Features
All these powerful features are included in every RamNode cloud account. Click any component to learn more and get started.
Cloud Instances
Launch and manage virtual servers with full root access. Choose from multiple regions and configurations to match your needs.
Block Storage Volumes
Attach additional persistent storage to your instances. Easily resize, backup, and move volumes between servers.
Object Storage with S3 API
Scalable object storage with S3-compatible API. Perfect for backups, media files, and data lakes.
Load Balancers
Distribute traffic across multiple instances for high availability. Built-in health checks and SSL termination.
Floating IPs
Portable IP addresses that can be instantly moved between instances. Essential for high availability setups.
Cloud Firewall
Software-defined firewall with security groups. Control inbound and outbound traffic at the network level.
What Sets RamNode Apart
Everything is included. Private networks, floating IPs, security groups, and traffic between your own instances carry no surcharge. Competitors frequently meter or upsell these as separate line items. We do not.
Standard, not bespoke. Build against documented OpenStack APIs instead of a single vendor's proprietary interface. Your investment in automation stays portable.
Transparent, capped billing. You are billed by the hour for as long as an instance exists, capped at the monthly rate. Spin up a full test topology, tear it down when you are done, and never get surprised by the bill.
Architecture, not just servers. Most low-cost hosts give you a VM and a control panel. RamNode gives you the components to design real cloud infrastructure: multi-tier networking, load-balanced application pools, persistent block and object storage, and high-availability failover with portable IPs.
API & Automation. Full API access for infrastructure as code. Integrate with Terraform, Ansible, and other DevOps tools.
Support that knows the stack. Our team works with OpenStack every day and can help with cloud architecture, migrations off proprietary platforms, and the technical questions that come up when you are building something real.
