Cloud instances on redu

Real virtual machines you fully control, like any cloud. Create one from the console or the API, or let your agent provision it. Root and SSH access, an automatic domain name, and attachable block storage, hosted in the EU.

Quick takeReal VMs, root and SSH

Provisioned by your agent, billed by the hour, hosted in the EU.

What you get

  • Real virtual machines with root and SSH access.
  • A range of sizes, from small instances to compute or memory heavy ones.
  • An automatic domain name for your app, plus private networking.
  • Attachable block storage that persists across redeploys.
  • Snapshots and backups built in.

How it works

  • Create an instance from the console or the API, or have your agent provision it over the redu MCP.
  • It boots from an image with your cloud-init and is ready in a couple of minutes.
  • Your agent can SSH in to configure, debug, or fix it in place.
  • Attach a volume, put it behind a load balancer, or expose it at an automatic domain.
Why redu

A real machine your agent stands up and operates.

Full virtual machines you control, provisioned and operated by your agent, so you spend time on the app, not on running servers.

A real machine, not a sandbox

You get a full virtual machine with root and SSH, so your agent can get onto the box and fix a live problem in place, something a serverless slot will not let you do.

Run it manually or with an agent

Create and operate an instance from the console or the API, like any cloud. Pointing your agent at it is an optional, faster interface to the same thing, not a requirement.

Predictable, hourly pricing

Instances are billed by the hour with no per-unit tax. New accounts start with £200 in credits. See the pricing page for exact rates.

Scales with you

Start with one instance and grow into an autoscaling cluster on the same cloud, so you never re-platform to handle traffic.

FAQ

Cloud instance questions

What is a redu instance?

A real virtual machine with root and SSH access, provisioned by your agent or from the console, that you fully control.

Can I use redu without an agent?

Yes. redu is a regular cloud you operate from the console or the API, the same as any other. An agent over the MCP is an optional, faster interface to the same actions.

Can my AI agent create and operate an instance?

Yes. redu has a native MCP server, so any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code is the common example) provisions an instance, deploys to it, and can SSH in to fix it.

Can I SSH into my instance?

Yes. Every instance is a real machine with SSH access, so you and your agent can get onto the box directly.

How are instances priced?

By the hour, with no per-unit tax. New accounts start with £200 in credits. See the pricing page for exact rates.

Where do instances run?

In the EU, in a German data centre, so your data stays within EU jurisdiction.
