Cloud Riders, we have some exciting news today: our new servers offers are now available! The C2 is now ready and at an insanely low price.
Let's go straight to the point, today we're launching the C2, our new BareMetal server, in 3 different variants starting at €11.99 per month or €0.024 per hour:



Like the C1, this price includes 50GB of SSD storage upgradable up to 1TB per server in a few clicks. For the first time on market, we're introducing next generation 2500Base-X networking as a standard feature with one 2500Base-X NIC on the C2S and two 2500Base-X NICs on the C2M and C2L, allowing for 5Gbit/s of internal bandwidth.
You can get up to 800Mbit/s of internet bandwidth with unlimited transfer, you won't get any bad surprise with bandwidth fees!

The C2 server has been designed in our HQ in Paris, it's based on Intel Avoton SoCs for a maximum of efficiency.

We're also introducing a new type of SSD on our C2L offer: Direct SSD. Direct SSDs (DSSD) are directly connected SSDs to the server through a SATA port to remove all bottlenecks. DSSDs are made for distributed database or data intensive applications. The C2L comes with 250GB of Direct SSD. Keep in mind that DSSD are tied to the physical server, they will be erased when you stop your server from the control panel.

What are they doing on @scaleway racks ?!

Today, we have a quite embarrassing news: we are near out of stock.
Since Scaleway’s launch, we have seen a great adoption of the C1 server. To allow more people to join the Scaleway adventure, we slashed the price of the C1 server by 70%. This was two month ago, and since then, our growth has been really amazing. We added as many servers as we could, racked new chassis and blades, but not fast enough to satisfy the demand. Today, we are near out of stock and our team is working with our supply chain to get enough C1 servers as soon as possible.

To avoid being completely out of stock for existing customers, we will stop accepting new customers today. Our existing customers will still be able to order new servers to grow with us.
New customers can join us by requesting an invite, directly from our website or through an existing customer.
When capacity allows, invites will be processed in a FIFO way: first people who request an invite will be the first to get access to the platform.

In the meantime, if you don't have an active account with us, we recommend renting servers from our mother company, Online.net. They have a lot of excellent dedicated server, like the Dedibox SC backed by 2GB of ram and 500GB of SSHD drive for 5.99€/month.

We'll continue to add capacity as hardware comes in.

Today, we're very excited to introduce a huge pricing change on the Scaleway services.

We believe that cloud computing is an amazing technology, where people should get flexible ressources for an affordable price. That's why today we decided to reduce the C1 price from €9.99 to €2.99.

In brief, the new pricing will result in the following changes:

• C1 Server price goes from €9.99 to €2.99 (reduced by 70%)
• Additional SSD volume price goes from €2 to €1 per 50GB (reduced by 50%)
• Reserved IP goes from €1.99 to €0.99 (reduced by 50%)

Of course, all InstantApps from the ImageHub benefit of the price cut. It means that you can now get all the applications from the Hub starting at €2.99 per month. The ImageHub offers you a large choice of app from developer stack to ready to use applications like:

• a Private VPN for €2.99 per month (reduced by 70%)
• a Seedbox with 150GB of SSD for €4.99 per month (reduced by 65%)
• a WordPress blog for €2.99 per month (reduced by 70%)

The new pricing is effective since the 1st of September, 2015 for all ressources and accounts.

Scaleway Bootscript: Simple Kernel Management for your C1 server
Bootscripts let you choose the kernel version your C1 server uses (but – teasing time – also the boot and initrd arguments, though this is not yet really useful).
A dozen of bootscripts are currently available. You can list them from your control panel and checkout the sources from our GitHub repository.

Images bootscripts
When you create a server on Scaleway, you need to select an image. It can be a distribution (Ubuntu, Fedora, ...), an image from the ImageHub (Wordpress, Torrents, ...), or your own (handcrafted!) image.

Each image has a default bootscript. For instance, the current Ubuntu image is associated with the bootscript 3.2.34-std #30 (stable), with, as you probably guessed, a Linux kernel version 3.2.34.

You can display and change the bootscript used by your image directly from the control panel:

• Click on Images in the left side menu
• Select the image you want to show or edit the bootscript
• Click SHOW in the advanced options section to display the bootscript menu

This way, everytime you boot a server using this image, it will use by default the bootscript you just set.

Another way to view the bootscript used by an image is to use our API:
request

curl -H "X-Auth-Token: <TOKEN ID>" https://api.scaleway.com/images/<IMAGE ID>
