Problem

How to use the exo compute instance command: Manage Exoscale Compute instances. More information: <https://community.exoscale.com/product/compute/instances/>.

Solution

exo compute instance — Manage Exoscale Compute instances. More information: <https://community.exoscale.com/product/compute/instances/>.

Create a Debian based Compute instance with a disk size of 10GB:

exo compute instance create --disk-size 10 {{instance_name}} {{[-z|--zone]}} {{zone}} --template '{{Linux Debian 12 (Bookworm) 64-bit}}'

Log into a Compute instance via SSH:

exo compute instance ssh {{instance_name|id}}

List all of the Compute instances:

exo compute instance list

Add an instance to a Security Group:

exo compute instance security-group add {{instance_name|id}} {{security_group_name|id}}

Scale the size of a Compute instance:

exo compute instance scale {{instance_name|id}} {{instance_type}}

Create a snapshot of a Compute instance:

exo compute instance snapshot create {{instance_name|id}}

Revert a Compute instance to a snapshot (the data written after the snapshot has been created will be lost):

exo compute instance snapshot revert {{snapshot_id}} {{instance_name|id}}

Resize the disk size of a Compute instance to 20GB:

exo compute instance resize-disk {{instance_name|id}} 20
