Services & Deployment

This section covers frequently asked questions about service management, deployments, migration, and infrastructure options.

Can I install more than one software on the same VM?​

Our dedicated services are running in complete isolation, so one service equals one VM. Using our CI/CD system, you can install multiple software's on a single VM.

Can I migrate/clone my service to another cloud or region?​

Yes, you can migrate or clone a running service to any other target cloud or region by simply clicking the "clone" button on the service dashboard.

Can I deploy Elestio services on-premise or on my existing cloud infrastructure?​

Yes, you can connect any on-premises or cloud VM managed services dashboard with our "Bring Your Own VM" (BYOVM) feature. Any software we provide can be installed on your own infrastructure, and it will be handled just like any other virtual machine (VM) we run on your behalf: backed up, updated, and secured.
