UpCloud’s servers now scale up to 10 CPUs and 64GB of memory
Increasing maximum memory and CPU limits
We are increasing the maximum memory and CPU limits you can configure on UpCloud. Now you can configure servers up to (and including) 10 CPUs and 64GB of memory. You can configure your servers with the new limits through our API and also the Control Panel, as well as on the mobile applications.
With our Flexible plans, you decide yourself how much CPU, memory and block storage your cloud server is allocated. This gives you incredible flexibility and allows you to fully customise your cloud server according to your specific needs.

We hope that with these two updates, you will be able to enjoy and find even more value in UpCloud.
