Vps36

VPS36 is a virtualization platform and line of virtual private servers designed for scalable hosting and development environments. The platform provides a control plane for provisioning, configuring, and managing virtual machines and containers, along with built-in networking and storage features. VPS36 aims to balance performance, isolation, and ease of use for service providers and end users.

Architecture and features: The core uses hardware-assisted virtualization, typically KVM, combined with a management layer that orchestrates resources across compute nodes. It supports full VMs and lightweight containers, with dynamic resource allocation, live migration, snapshots, and backups. Networking includes virtual bridges, private networks, firewall rules, and IP address management. Storage options include local disks, block storage, and backup repositories; data protection features cover backups and restore points.

Deployment and usage: VPS36 is designed for data centers, colocation, and cloud environments. Hosting providers can deploy multi-tenant VPS36 clusters, while developers may use individual VPS instances for testing, staging, or production workloads. The platform provides an API and a web-based control panel for provisioning, monitoring, and billing. Security features include isolation between tenants, role-based access control, and integrated security groups.

History and reception: VPS36 emerged as a modular virtualization offering aiming to compete with established platforms by offering an API-first design and compatibility with common tooling. It has seen adoption by a range of hosting providers and development teams seeking scalable VPS solutions. Critics often compare it to other virtualization stacks in terms of performance, ecosystem, and support.
