Latitude.sh CPU Instances are virtual machines optimized for general-purpose computing workloads.

​
Deploying CPU instances

Set up your CPU instances with these steps:
1

Access the CPU instance creation page

Log in to the dashboard, select a project, navigate to Virtual machines in the sidebar and click Create instance.
2

Choose plan and location

Select the CPU configuration and location based on your workload needs. The operating system is pre-selected for you.
3

Set billing and instance details

Select the billing method (hourly or monthly). Choose the number of instances to deploy (1-5) and name them.Names are auto-generated based on your plan and location (e.g., cpu-vm-ash-1, cpu-vm-ash-2). You can customize the first name and subsequent instances follow the same pattern (e.g., web, web-2, web-3).When deploying multiple instances, the pricing summary shows the total cost and unit price per instance.
4

Deploy the instances

Click Create to deploy your CPU instances. All instances deploy in parallel.

​
Logging into your instance

1

Connect via SSH

Go to the instance details page to find your access credentials. Use the username, password, and public IP provided to connect via SSH.The default SSH port for Ubuntu is 22. Root access is disabled, so log in with the provided username and use sudo to switch to root if needed.

​
Power management

To power cycle your virtual machine, go to the instance’s overview page and click on the status dropdown. Choose one of the available options.
Shutting down a virtual machine does not pause billing. To avoid charges, you have to delete the instance instead.

​
Monitoring

Track your virtual machine’s performance metrics including CPU usage, memory usage, storage operations, and network traffic from the monitoring section on your VM’s overview page. For detailed charts and historical data, see Virtual Machine Monitoring.
