# Cloud Providers

# Hetzner

**Hetzner** is an award-winning provider, born and based in Germany. They are one of our favorite providers because they are reliable and cost effective. Most of the time, you get twice the CPU & RAM for the same price compared to other providers.  
  
We also love Hetzner for their commitment to promoting an energy-efficient use of the internet. All of their datacenters are powered by renewable energy.

# BYOVM (Bring Your Own VM)

You can also deploy to your own cloud account from any cloud provider (Azure, GCP, Alibaba, Oracle, etc.) or from a VM hosted on-premises. You handle your provider relationship while we manage things. [![image.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/scaled-1680-/DuNimage.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2026-04/DuNimage.png)

### Pricing

Pricing is based on the specification of the VM you are connecting to:

**$5 per vCPU, $2.50 per GB of RAM, and $0.25 per 10 GB of disk.**

Example: if you are connecting a VM with 2 vCPU + 4GB RAM + 40GB Disk, the cost per month will be

(5\*2) + (2.5\*4) + (0.25\*4) = ~$21/mo

Price per hour is then calculated like this: $21/730h = $0.02876/h

You can calculate your VM pricing using our tool here: <span style="color:rgb(230,126,35);">[https://elest.io/bring-your-own-vm](https://elest.io/bring-your-own-vm)</span>

# Microsoft Azure or BYO-AZURE (Bring Your Own Azure Account)

This guide explains the Azure permissions and configuration required for customers who want to deploy Elestio services in their own Azure subscription. By connecting your Azure account, Elestio will create and manage resources directly in your Azure environment.

---

### Prerequisites

Before connecting your Azure subscription to Elestio, ensure you have:

- An active Azure subscription
- **Global Administrator**, **Privileged Role Administrator**, or **Application Administrator** role in Azure AD
- **Contributor** role on the target Azure subscription (or ability to assign it)

---

### Required Azure Permissions

#### Minimum Required Role

- **Role**: `Contributor`
- **Scope**: Subscription level

**Why**:  
This role allows Elestio to create, manage, and delete resources in your subscription while preventing it from modifying access controls or role assignments.

---

### Alternative: Custom Role (Advanced)

If your organization requires granular permissions, you can create a custom role with the following permissions:

```json
{
  "Name": "Elestio Service Manager",
  "Description": "Custom role for Elestio to manage cloud resources",
  "Actions": [
    "Microsoft.Resources/subscriptions/resourceGroups/*",
    "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines/*",
    "Microsoft.Compute/disks/*",
    "Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks/*",
    "Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/*",
    "Microsoft.Network/networkSecurityGroups/*",
    "Microsoft.Network/publicIPAddresses/*",
    "Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/*",
    "Microsoft.RecoveryServices/vaults/*",
    "Microsoft.RecoveryServices/register/action",
    "Microsoft.Authorization/locks/*"
  ],
  "NotActions": [],
  "AssignableScopes": [
    "/subscriptions/{your-subscription-id}"
  ]
}

```

---

### What Resources Will Elestio Create?

When you deploy services through Elestio using your Azure subscription, the following resources are created:

<table id="bkmrk-resource-type-purpos"><thead><tr><th>Resource Type</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>**Resource Groups**</td><td>Logical containers for all resources (`elestio-{region}`)</td></tr><tr><td>**Virtual Machines**</td><td>Compute instances for your applications</td></tr><tr><td>**Managed Disks**</td><td>OS and data storage for VMs</td></tr><tr><td>**Virtual Networks**</td><td>Network isolation</td></tr><tr><td>**Network Interfaces**</td><td>VM network connectivity</td></tr><tr><td>**Public IP Addresses**</td><td>IPv4 and IPv6 external access</td></tr><tr><td>**Network Security Groups**</td><td>Firewall rules</td></tr><tr><td>**Storage Accounts**</td><td>Backups and object storage</td></tr><tr><td>**Recovery Services Vaults**</td><td>Backup and disaster recovery</td></tr><tr><td>**Resource Locks**</td><td>Prevent accidental deletion</td></tr></tbody></table>

---

#### OAuth Scope Required

Elestio uses the following OAuth 2.0 scope:

```text
https://management.azure.com/user_impersonation
```

This allows Elestio to act on your behalf via Azure Resource Manager.

---

### Step-by-Step Setup Guide

#### Step 1: Assign Contributor Role

1. Sign in to the <span style="color:rgb(230,126,35);">**<span style="text-decoration:underline;">[Azure Portal](https://portal.azure.com/)</span>**</span>
2. Go to **Subscriptions**
3. Select your subscription
4. Open **Access control (IAM)**
5. Click **+ Add** → **Add role assignment**
6. Select **Contributor**
7. Assign it to your user account
8. Click **Review + assign**

<p class="callout info">You can assign the role in the Azure portal by following the steps outlined in the [**<span style="color:rgb(230,126,35);">Microsoft documentation.</span>**](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/role-based-access-control/role-assignments-portal-subscription-admin#step-1-open-the-subscription)</p>

**Verification**:  
Your account should appear under *Role assignments* with the **Contributor** role.

---

#### Step 2: Register Elestio Application in Azure AD

[![Screenshot 2025-12-24 195252.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2025-12-24-195252.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/screenshot-2025-12-24-195252.png)

1. Log in to the Elestio dashboard
2. Select **Software** inside Services.
3. Go to **Cloud Providers → Azure**
4. Enter your **Azure Tenant ID** (see how to find it in the **<span style="color:rgb(230,126,35);">[Azure portal](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/get-subscription-tenant-id#find-your-microsoft-entra-tenant)</span>**)
5. Click **Authenticate with Azure**

You will be redirected to the Microsoft login page.

---

#### Step 3: Grant Admin Consent

[![Screenshot-2025-12-24-180102-png-943×880--12-24-2025_08_04_PM (1).png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2025-12-24-180102-png-943880-12-24-2025-08-04-pm-1.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/screenshot-2025-12-24-180102-png-943880-12-24-2025-08-04-pm-1.png)

1. Review requested permissions:
    
    
    - **Access Azure Service Management as you** (`user_impersonation`)
2. Sign in with an admin account if required
3. Click **Accept**

> **Note**: If you lack privileges, your Azure AD administrator must grant consent.

---

#### Step 4: Select Subscription

[![image.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/scaled-1680-/image.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2025-12/image.png)

1. Return to the Elestio dashboard
2. Select the Azure subscription.

Your Azure account is now connected.

---

### Security Best Practices

#### Use Dedicated Subscriptions

Recommended for production to ensure:

- Clear cost tracking
- Workload isolation
- Easier audits and compliance

---

### Resource Naming Conventions

<table id="bkmrk-resource-pattern-exa"><thead><tr><th>Resource</th><th>Pattern</th><th>Example</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Resource Group</td><td>`elestio-{region}`</td><td>`elestio-eastus`</td></tr><tr><td>VM</td><td>`{service-name}`</td><td>`my-postgres-db`</td></tr><tr><td>Public IPv4</td><td>`{service-name}_ipv4`</td><td>`my-postgres-db_ipv4`</td></tr><tr><td>Public IPv6</td><td>`{service-name}_ipv6`</td><td>`my-postgres-db_ipv6`</td></tr><tr><td>Virtual Network</td><td>`elestio_{region}_vnet`</td><td>`elestio_eastus_vnet`</td></tr><tr><td>Backup Policy</td><td>`elestioBackup`</td><td>`elestioBackup`</td></tr></tbody></table>

---

### Troubleshooting

#### Insufficient Permissions

**Cause**: Missing Contributor role  
**Fix**:

- Assign Contributor at subscription level
- Wait 5–10 minutes for propagation

---

#### Admin Consent Required

**Cause**: Azure AD consent missing  
**Fix**:

- Ask an admin to approve permissions

---

#### Provider Not Registered

**Fix**:

1. Subscriptions → Resource providers
2. Register `Microsoft.RecoveryServices`

---

#### Quota Exceeded

**Fix**:

- Check **Usage + quotas**
- Request an increase via Azure Support

# BYOVM with AWS EC2

You can deploy an Elestio service on your own AWS account with BYOVM

<iframe height="453" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RYBhlFiH7cg?rel=0&autoplay=0&showinfo=0" style="width:808px;height:453px;" width="808"></iframe>

To do it, you will need to create a VM on AWS EC2, first connect to AWS EC2 dashboard:

[https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Instances:instanceState=running](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Instances:instanceState=running)

[![image-1648551097629.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551097629.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551097629.png)

There click on **"Launch instances"** button and click on the select button on the row with **Ubuntu 26.04 LTS**

[![image-1648558620461.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648558620461.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648558620461.png)

Next Choose an **Instance type** based on your needs (T3 Medium is a good base if you don't know yet what you will need)

[![image-1648558725496.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648558725496.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648558725496.png)

Then click on NEXT (configure instance details) button

[![image-1648558771307.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648558771307.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648558771307.png)

There is nothing to do, just click on "Next: add storage" button

[![image-1648558878069.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648558878069.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648558878069.png)

In the disk size configure at least 20GB then click on the Next button again, you will arrive on the Step 5 with tags, nothing to do there, click again on Next to go to security groups configuration

[![image-1648558995026.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648558995026.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648558995026.png)

You need to create 2 rules in the security group to open the traffic from internet to the VM:

- ALL TCP, for ports 0-65535, with source anywhere
- Custom UDP, for port 4242, with source anywhere

**Then click on "Review and Launch" button**

**Alternatively** you can open just a selection of ports based on your needs, at least ports **TCP:** **22, 80, 443** for basic usage. To allow Elestio tools (File Explorer, VS Code, web terminal) you should also open ports **TCP: 18345,18374,18445.** If you want to use our global private ip network you should also allow port **UDP: 4242.** Finally some specific ports are required based on the app template you have selected, you can find them in the activation email of the software or in our documentation [here](https://doc.elest.io/books/supported-softwares).

[![image-1648559395227.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648559395227.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648559395227.png)

Finally click on **Launch,** after few seconds will see a confirmation message:

[![image-1648551657247.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551657247.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551657247.png)

There click on **View all instances** button

[![image-1648551707674.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551707674.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551707674.png)

<p class="callout warning">We recommend that you allocate &amp; attach an Elastic IP address to your instance, so the IP address will never change in case you stop the server. [Click here](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Addresses:) to allocate an Elastic IP and then attach it to your VM in EC2.</p>

We are now back on the list of all VMs in EC2, from here right click on your new instance and click on **Connect** in the sub menu

[![image-1648551813396.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551813396.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551813396.png)

There change the user name to **root** then click on Connect button

[![image-1648551863875.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551863875.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551863875.png)

 You should then see a terminal shell like this

[![image-1648551921125.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551921125.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551921125.png)

There paste this command into the terminal to activate the remote management for Elestio (This is a temporary key used for the deployment phase, it's automatically removed from the VM right after the deployment)

**sudo mkdir -p /root/.ssh/ &amp;&amp; sudo echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAmAlfBn8fy00sHq4DV2lUDNJ73XNwCtSDgHAAEjVt8lVcPOyb+drHK7TmHtF6mIhax/qeFdS/27bqmuu2/+QyXuvG98WL47cJinVkuUNR1bqKfpjwvlGtPkVQTiz2aN9ktY8+RaKoJUg6YrL23wiRgqibRuRYJgG1tIx7O4pUAK8XPsIVw2kvTuaVWu+iQq968KozJP8t1C6U8eqwbV2H8xpMLAsuIA82S1vGkqx42TBLo8XOgQo1ZIoY4dsO+ElvJZ5sqxAg4GB57OIgpaav/2SkKau6Oh4ndkKTJms5kTc2wUm96VVea2eOrOL0TPNQOhb1uy2MgxS9LLFxm2psmQ== elestio-prod-key" &gt;&gt; /root/.ssh/authorized\_keys**

Then go back to Elestio Dashboard to create a new BYOVM service

[![image-1648553680058.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648553680058.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648553680058.png)

Indicate the provider name, region name and Public IPV4 found in the AWS dashboard then click on "Test my VM"

[![image-1648553849491.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648553849491.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648553849491.png)

You'll see the pricing calculated based on the number of CPU/RAM/DISK of your AWS EC2 VM, the first BYOVM service is free!

You can then click on "Create service" and you are done! Your service will be deployed in less than 3 minutes and you will receive an email with instructions but of course the service is also accessible in the dashboard.

[![image-1648557473027.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648557473027.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648557473027.png)

From there we will take care of backups, monitoring/alerts, OS/software updates and security for you.

> This approach is outdated. Instead, you can use our <span style="color:rgb(230,126,35);background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">[**Bring Your Own AWS Account(BYO-AWS)**](https://docs.elest.io/books/getting-started/page/create-a-new-service-with-bring-your-own-aws-account-byoaws)</span> provider option.

You can deploy an Elestio service on your own AWS account with BYOVM

To do it, you will need to create a VM on AWS EC2, first connect to the AWS EC2 dashboard:

[https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Instances:instanceState=running](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Instances:instanceState=running)

[![image-1648551097629.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551097629.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551097629.png)

There click on **"Launch instances"** button and select **Ubuntu 26**

[![image-1648551214266.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551214266.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551214266.png)

Scroll down to **Instance type** to select your VM size based on your needs

[![image-1648551260900.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551260900.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551260900.png)

then scroll down to configure **network settings** and **storage**

[![image-1648551341376.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551341376.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551341376.png)

In network settings you should check the 3 checkboxes to allow SSH, HTTP and HTTPS traffic from the internet.

In Storage, you can indicate any disk size above 20GB

If you need to provision multiple VMs, you can change the number of instances in the top right column

Finally click on **Launch instance** button

[![image-1648551520084.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551520084.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551520084.png)

If it's your first time deploying a VM you will be asked to create a new key pair

[![image-1648551559491.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551559491.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551559491.png)

give any key pair name then click on "Create key pair" and SAVE the PEM file preciously on your computer

After a few seconds you will see a confirmation message:

[![image-1648551657247.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551657247.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551657247.png)

There click on **View all instances** button

[![image-1648551707674.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551707674.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551707674.png)

<p class="callout warning">We recommend that you allocate &amp; attach an Elastic IP address to your instance, so the IP address will never change in case you stop the server. [Click here](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home#Addresses:) to allocate an Elastic IP and then attach it to your VM in EC2.</p>

We are now back on the list of all VMs in EC2, from here right click on your new instance and click on **Connect** in the sub menu

[![image-1648551813396.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551813396.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551813396.png)

There change the user name to **root,** then click on Connect button

[![image-1648551863875.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551863875.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551863875.png)

 You should then see a terminal shell like this

[![image-1648551921125.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648551921125.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648551921125.png)

There paste this command into the terminal to activate the remote management for Elestio (This is a temporary key used for the deployment phase, it's automatically removed from the VM right after the deployment)

**sudo mkdir -p /root/.ssh/ &amp;&amp; sudo echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAmAlfBn8fy00sHq4DV2lUDNJ73XNwCtSDgHAAEjVt8lVcPOyb+drHK7TmHtF6mIhax/qeFdS/27bqmuu2/+QyXuvG98WL47cJinVkuUNR1bqKfpjwvlGtPkVQTiz2aN9ktY8+RaKoJUg6YrL23wiRgqibRuRYJgG1tIx7O4pUAK8XPsIVw2kvTuaVWu+iQq968KozJP8t1C6U8eqwbV2H8xpMLAsuIA82S1vGkqx42TBLo8XOgQo1ZIoY4dsO+ElvJZ5sqxAg4GB57OIgpaav/2SkKau6Oh4ndkKTJms5kTc2wUm96VVea2eOrOL0TPNQOhb1uy2MgxS9LLFxm2psmQ== elestio-prod-key" &gt;&gt; /root/.ssh/authorized\_keys**

We also need to allow all traffic to the VM in the AWS EC2 instance list click on your instance, then click on the **security** tab

[![image-1648555261405.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648555261405.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648555261405.png)

There click on the Security group in blue (launch-wizard-1 in the screenshot above)

[![image-1648555516835.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648555516835.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648555516835.png)

Click on "Edit inbound rules" to be able to allow all traffic on the VM

[![image-1648556736479.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648556736479.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648556736479.png)

Here change the rule to allow ALL TCP traffic &amp; ALL UDP traffic from anywhere

Alternatively, you can open just a selection of ports based on your needs, at least ports **TCP:** **22, 80, 443** for basic usage. To allow Elestio tools (File Explorer, VS Code, web terminal) you should also open ports **TCP: 18345,18374,18445.**

If you want to use our global private ip network you should also allow port **UDP: 4242**

Finally, some specific ports are required based on the template you have selected; you can find them in the activation email of the software or in our documentation [here](https://doc.elest.io/books/supported-softwares).

Then go back to Elestio Dashboard to create a new BYOVM service

[![image-1648553680058.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648553680058.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648553680058.png)

Indicate the provider name, region name and Public IPV4 found in the AWS dashboard then click on "Test my VM."

[![image-1648553849491.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648553849491.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648553849491.png)

You'll see the pricing calculated based on the number of CPU/RAM/DISK of your AWS EC2 VM;

You can then click on "Create service," and you are done! Your service will be deployed in less than 3 minutes and you will receive an email with instructions but of course the service is also accessible in the dashboard.

[![image-1648557473027.png](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/scaled-1680-/image-1648557473027.png)](https://docs.elest.io/uploads/images/gallery/2022-03/image-1648557473027.png)

From there we will take care of backups, monitoring/alerts, OS/software updates and security for you.
