2026-03-11 API rate limits

Today we are introducing rate limits to our Public API to ensure the stability of our API and platform for everyone. Rate limits are restrictions that our API imposes on the number of times a user or client can access our services within a specified period of time.

Please take a look at our API documentation section "Rate limits".

New products

Instant GPU Clusters Generally Available

The Beta label has been removed from clusters, marking their general availability. Users can also now transfer clusters between projects, matching the flexibility that already existed for instances.

Improvements

Spot Eviction Storage Behaviour Controls

Users can now configure what happens to their attached storage when a spot instance is evicted — for example, whether volumes are retained or released. This gives teams more control over data safety and cost when running interruptible workloads.

SFS Share Settings Improved

The shared filesystem (SFS storage) share settings modal received a round of UX improvements, and the displayed mount command was updated to reflect the latest syntax — ensuring users copy the correct command when attaching volumes to instances.

2026-02-03 Spot instance volume policy

When creating a spot instance, it is now possible to specify a removal policy for the OS volume and any additional volumes created alongside it. Use the on_spot_discontinue field:

POST /v1/instances

POST v1/instances
{
  "instance_type": "CPU.4V.16G",
  "image": "ubuntu-24.04",
  "ssh_key_ids": ["442e6a59-26c2-4cea-a619-39762c0d2385"],
  "hostname": "test-instance",
  "location_code": "FIN-03",
  "is_spot": true,
  "os_volume": {
    "name": "test-instance-os-volume",
    "size": 55,
    // If "delete_permanently", the volume will be deleted when the spot instance is discontinued
    "on_spot_discontinue": "keep_detached" | "move_to_trash" | "delete_permanently"
  }
}

2026-02-03 Delete volumes permanently when deleting an instance

When deleting an instance, you can now specify whether its volumes should be moved to deleted storage (default) or deleted permanently:

PUT /v1/instances

PUT v1/instances
{
  "action": "delete",
  "id": "442e6a59-26c2-4cea-a619-39762c0d2385",
  "volume_ids": ["5e9e63a9-fc3b-427b-b259-0c77dce61090"],
  // Will delete the instance and volumes permanently
  "delete_permanently": true
}

New products

Terraform Provider for Verda Infrastructure (GA)

Users can now manage their entire Verda infrastructure as code (IaC) using the official Terraform provider, enabling reproducible deployments, version-controlled configurations, and seamless integration with existing IaC workflows.

Container Registry (Limited Beta)

A built-in container registry that lets users store, manage, and deploy container images directly within the platform, eliminating the need for third-party registry services.

Cluster Auto-scaler for Kubernetes (Under review)

An auto-scaler integration currently under review by the official Kubernetes project that would allow Verda-based clusters to automatically scale node pools up and down based on workload demand, optimizing both performance and cost.

Improvements

Unified Top-Up Page

Combines One-time top-up, Automatic top-up, and Credit coupon forms into a single, streamlined page, simplifying the payment experience.

Transfer Money Between Projects

Users can now move funds between their projects, adding important flexibility to multi-project billing workflows.

Around ~90 other smaller improvements and bug-fixes across 27 releases to Cloud Platform.
