Instance families
The right mix of CPU and memory
Five families, each with a fixed ratio of vCPU to RAM. Every size costs the same per vCPU and per GB, so moving between them is simple.
1:1 vCPU to RAM
Basic
The lowest price for light, steady workloads.1–4 vCPU, 1–4 GB RAM
- Dev and test
- Small websites
- Bastion hosts
1:2 vCPU to RAM
CPU-optimized
More processing power for each GB of memory.1–48 vCPU, 2–96 GB RAM
- CI/CD pipelines
- Batch jobs
- Video encoding
1:4 vCPU to RAM
General purpose
A balance of compute and memory for most apps.1–96 vCPU, 4–384 GB RAM
- Web applications
- API backends
- Small databases
1:8 vCPU to RAM
Memory-optimized
For applications that work on large data in memory.2–64 vCPU, 16–512 GB RAM
- In-memory caches
- Real-time analytics
- Large databases
1:16 vCPU to RAM
High-memory
The most memory per vCPU, for very large datasets.2–32 vCPU, 32–512 GB RAM
- SAP and ERP databases
- In-memory analytics
- Big caches

Questions about compute instances
Sizing, billing, operating systems and operations. Still curious? Our engineers are a call away.
- Neon Cloud offers virtual machines from 1 vCPU / 1 GB RAM up to 96 vCPUs or 512 GB RAM across five families: Basic (1 GB RAM per vCPU), CPU-Optimized (2 GB), General Purpose (4 GB), Memory-Optimized (8 GB) and High-Memory (16 GB). Every VM is priced at ₹290 per vCPU plus ₹80 per GB of RAM per month.
- Yes, Neon Cloud supports both Linux and Windows. Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 Datacenter are licensed at ₹300 per vCPU per month (minimum 4 vCPUs per VM). Linux options include Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04, 24.04 LTS), Debian, CentOS, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux.
- Neon Cloud compute instances are priced 30-40% lower than equivalent AWS EC2 instances. All pricing is in Indian Rupees (INR) with no hidden fees. Each VM includes 5 TB of monthly data transfer, with additional transfer at ₹5/GB. Linux instances start from ₹370/mo.
- Every VM is covered by a 99.9% platform uptime SLA on the free Starter support plan, and 99.95% on the Essential and Premium plans, backed by service credits. Live migration keeps instances available during host maintenance.
- Yes, Neon Cloud provides auto-scaling groups that automatically adjust instance count based on CPU, memory, or custom metrics. You can configure scaling policies, cooldown periods, and min/max instance limits to match your workload patterns.
- All compute instances come with ultra-fast NVMe SSD storage delivering up to 80,000 IOPS. You can also attach additional block storage volumes, use S3-compatible object storage, or mount NFS file storage for shared workloads.
- New compute instances can be deployed in under 60 seconds. Choose your instance family, select an OS image, configure networking, and launch. Full API and CLI access is available for automated deployments and infrastructure-as-code workflows.
