Ready-to-deploy instances for your dev environment

Create scalable development environments with IONOS Cloud Cubes to meet specific software requirements. We provide you with cost-effective virtual servers that you can use as independent computing capacity for workloads such as development and test environments (incl. integration into the CI/CD pipeline). Use our easily configurable server-and-storage system to the extent you need at any time.

IONOS Cloud Cubes works by default with an attached NVMe volume, which can be expanded with HDD or SSD network block storage as needed.

Cloud Cubes connected with web applications

Fully integrated into IONOS Cloud architecture

Map out simple workloads such as web applications and easily link to production environments. IONOS Cloud Cubes are fully integrated into our cloud data centres, taking over specific workloads and running in tandem with the Compute Engine in the same virtual data centre. This allows you to harness enterprise-grade features like backups and network performance.
Based on an array of templates, we provide you with preconfigured cubes for your project with the right mix of hardware and high performance – which can be adapted as your requirements change.

Automate cloud instance configurations

Using Cloud-Init, you can script and execute various parameters during the initial provisioning of a cloud instance. That way you don’t have to set up parameter values manually after provisioning one or more instances.

You can also create or change new or active users or security settings, update and install Linux VMs using one or more package files, and set owner and file permissions for web directories.

When creating a new virtual instance from a public Linux image, Cloud-Init can be easily accessed via the Cloud API, SDKs, and config management tools as well as the Data Center Designer (DCD). This means a corresponding configuration file can be transferred as part of the provisioning process.

Using Cloud-Init is optional and free of charge.

IONOS Cloud Cubes

Simplify project development

Easily automated
Merge your test environment with production resources to seamlessly bring system changes live. All this can be automated using IONOS Cloud Configuration Management Tools, SDKs and natively via a cloud API.
Cost-effective deployment
Optimised for cost and easy deployment, our template-based configurations for compute, RAM, and storage simplify setups, ensuring optimal performance with minimal configuration.
Enterprise-grade hardware
We rely solely on brand-name hardware that meets the most demanding use cases. Tailored to your needs whenever you want with the pay-as-you-go billing model.
GUI configurable
Configure your workloads easily using the Data Center Designer's graphical, browser-based user interface. You can deploy and create new instances for your workloads in no time.
Network tools
IONOS Cloud Cubes are an integral extension of our IaaS, the Compute Engine. Not only are they fully integrated into our network infrastructure, but they also work with public cloud servers in public and private LANs. You can also use them with IONOS Cloud managed network services like NAT Gateway and Network Load Balancer.
Direct attached storage
Direct attached storage on NVMe comes as standard. Get the highest performance with NVMe attached to the hardware bus. It's not subject to latency from the network stack and built on a local RAID to offset potential NVMe failures.
