Understanding the difference between Jelastic Cloud and Cloud Server
This guide compares the different Infomaniak Cloud solutions to help you choose the infrastructure best suited to your needs. In all cases, you benefit from dedicated and scalable resources.
Jelastic Cloud (PaaS)
Jelastic Cloud is a platform that allows you to create development environments on the fly without managing system administration:
- Maximum flexibility: the platform automatically adjusts your resources according to real-time load.
- Advantage: ideal if your consumption (CPU, RAM) varies greatly depending on the time of year.
- Billing: you only pay for the resources actually consumed.
Managed Cloud Server
A Cloud Server allows you to manage websites and web applications via a simplified interface, while allowing the installation of specific software:
- Simplicity: as easy to use as shared hosting, but with the power of dedicated resources.
- Advantage: ideal if your resource consumption is stable and predictable.
- Management: Infomaniak handles the technical maintenance and security updates of the server.
Cloud VPS and VPS Lite
The Cloud VPS or VPS Lite offer complete root access to a Linux distribution:
- Total control: you manage your entire server and software configurations.
- Required skills: solid technical expertise in system administration is essential.
- Usage: recommended for specific needs with stable resource consumption.
