Compute
Overview

Compute

Compute lets you run virtual machines (instances) on redu.cloud.

Use these endpoints to list, create, and manage instances, and to discover available flavors.


Concepts

Instance

An instance is a virtual machine created from an image and a flavor.

Common instance fields:

  • status — high-level status (e.g. ACTIVE, SHUTOFF, BUILD)
  • state — internal lifecycle state (e.g. active, stopped, provisioning)
  • image_id — which image the instance was created from
  • flavor_id — the compute size for CPU/RAM/disk
  • metadata — additional configuration, such as SSH or public access

Endpoints


Authentication

Compute endpoints require an API key:

x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

See Authentication for examples in cURL, Node.js, Python, and Go.
