Cloud & Virtualization
Vultr
Global VPS and bare-metal provider chosen when a specific region, low-latency edge presence or custom ISO boot is the deciding factor.
Security & hardening
- Provider firewall groups per role
- Hardened base images and patch schedule
- API key rotation and restricted subaccounts
Vultr deployment architecture
Region-first design: instances are placed close to the users who need them, with private networking between tiers and independent backup.
-
01
Edge
- DNS
- Reserved IP
- Firewall group
Firewall groups are written per role rather than one shared permissive set.
-
02
Compute
- Cloud compute instances
- Bare metal
- Custom ISO builds
Bare metal is used where noisy-neighbour variance would break the workload.
-
03
Network
- VPC 2.0
- Private tier traffic
- Load balancer
Database and internal services never carry a public address.
-
04
Protection
- Automatic backups
- Snapshots
- Off-site copy
Restores are exercised on a schedule, not assumed.
Frequently asked questions
Why pick Vultr over a hyperscaler?
Region choice and price predictability. If a workload has to sit in a specific city with low latency and a fixed monthly cost, it is often the practical answer.
Can we run our own image?
Yes, custom ISO and image upload are supported, which suits appliances and hardened base builds that must match an existing estate.
Is bare metal worth it?
For sustained CPU or disk-bound workloads, yes. For bursty web traffic, shared compute with headroom is usually cheaper.
