Modify an attribute of a VM

The actions available on a Numspot VM (Virtual Machine) depend on its current state:

  • to modify the VM Type attribute (Type, UserData, Performance and NestedVirtualization), you must stop the VM;
  • the other attributes can be modified when the VM is running or stopped.

Permissions​

info

This action requires the following IAM (Identity and Access Management) permissions:

  • compute.vm.update
From the left-hand side menu, click Compute → VMs.
1 / 3

Modify the associated security groups​

  1. From the left-hand side menu, click Compute → VM to access the list of VM;

  2. Select the VM and choose the Security groups action.

    The "Update the security groups" dialog box appears;

  3. Click in the field to display the list of security groups:

    • in the list, select the security group or groups you want to associate with the VM;
    • to dissociate a security group from a VM, deselect the name of the security group;

  4. Click Update the security groups.

Modify the type of a VM​

  1. From the left-hand side menu, click Compute → VM to access the list of VM;

  2. Select the VM and choose the Modify VM type action.

    The "Update the type of the VM" dialog box appears. You have two options:

    • Select a preconfigured VM template: Numspot offers VM templates optimized for different use cases, such as compute, memory, standard and economy;

    • Custom VM: if you have specific needs that are not covered by the preconfigured templates, you can create a custom VM by selecting the "Custom" option.

      Specify the following attributes for your VM:

      • CPU generation: the generation of the processor;
      • Performance: the performance indicator:
        • Highest: maximum compute capacity on all the vCPU of the VM. This value is ideal for compute-intensive applications requiring stable performance throughout the life cycle of the VM;
        • High: high compute capacity on all the vCPU of the VM. This value applies to most cases and offers performance that varies over time;
        • Moderate: performance that varies significantly on all the vCPU of the VM. This value does not guarantee consistent performance, but is ideal for machines with low CPU demand;
      • Number of vCPU: the number of vCores, up to 78;
      • RAM (GiB): the amount of memory, up to 1024 GiB.
      warning

      To function correctly, Windows VM require at least a v5-generation processor, 2 vCores and 4 GiB of memory.

  3. Click Submit.

Modify the behavior of the VM on shutdown​

  1. From the left-hand side menu, click Compute → VM to access the list of VM;

  2. Select the VM and choose the Shutdown behavior action.

    The "Update the shutdown behavior" dialog box appears;

  3. In the list, select one of the following values:

    • "Stop": when you shut down the VM, it stops;
    • "Terminate": when you shut down the VM, it stops and is terminated;
    • "Restart": when you shut down the VM, it stops and restarts automatically;

  4. Click Update the shutdown behavior.

Modify the deletion protection​

  1. From the left-hand side menu, click Compute → VM to access the list of VM;

  2. Select the VM and choose the Deletion protection action.

    The "Update the deletion protection" dialog box appears;

  3. Enable or disable the button:

    • if it is enabled, you cannot delete the VM;
    • if it is disabled, you can delete it with any interface;

  4. Click Update the deletion protection.
