🚀 Krutrim Cloud Update — Now Live: Persistent Block Storage, Network Services, and Enhanced Compute Capabilities

We're thrilled to announce the public release of several foundational cloud infrastructure services on Krutrim Cloud. This release significantly enhances your ability to run scalable, reliable, and production-grade workloads with deeper control over compute, storage, and networking.

🖥️ Enhanced Virtual Machines (Compute)

Krutrim Virtual Machines now come with extended configuration capabilities:

  • Attach Block Storage Volumes to your VMs, allowing you to separate compute and storage for improved performance and data persistence.

  • Custom Network Setup: When launching a VM, you can now specify the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Subnet, and Static IP address to place the instance exactly where you want it in your network.

  • Security Groups: Define firewall rules that control traffic to and from your VM instances, adding a critical layer of security.

These enhancements make Krutrim VMs more flexible and secure, giving you the building blocks for running multi-tier applications and services in production.

💾 Block Storage as a Service

We’re introducing Krutrim Block Storage — durable, high-performance SSD volumes designed for persistent data:

  • Volumes: Provision and attach General Purpose or IOPS-Optimized SSD volumes to one or more VMs. Volumes remain available even when VMs are stopped or deleted.

  • Snapshots: Create instant, point-in-time snapshots of your volumes for data protection or migration. Snapshots can be used to create new volumes as needed.

  • Backups (Scheduled & On-Demand): Automate backups of your volumes with configurable retention policies. Easily restore data in case of failure or accidental deletion.

Whether you're running databases, applications, or file systems, Block Storage helps ensure your data is safe, scalable, and easy to manage.

🌐 Full-Featured Network Services

We’re also launching a suite of Network Services to give you full control over how your workloads connect:

  • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Launch resources in isolated, logically segmented networks. Define IP ranges and keep workloads secure and private.

  • Subnets: Divide your VPC into subnets across availability zones for high availability and fault tolerance.

  • Security Groups: Apply rule-based traffic filtering at the instance level to define what traffic is allowed in and out of your resources.

  • Reserved IP addresses: Reserve an IP address specifically for you and attach and detach it with your VMs.

These services provide the foundation for secure, multi-tier network architectures, enabling you to replicate familiar AWS-like VPC patterns.

🔧 Key Use Cases This Unlocks

  • Web & App Hosting: Deploy multi-tier apps with frontend VMs, backend databases, isolated via Security Groups.

  • High-Performance Databases: Run data-intensive workloads with IOPS-optimized block storage.

  • Enterprise Workloads: Build full-stack production environments with persistent storage, private networks, and secure access controls.

📢 Coming Soon

Stay tuned — we’re actively working on:

  • Auto-scaling groups

  • Load balancers

  • Certificate Manager

  • Object archival storage

  • Private container registries and Kubernetes clusters
