Kinsta Infrastructure and New GCP Compute-Optimized VMs (C2)

[mouakter13]

For those of you who are not familiar with our platform, it is important to understand that it does not fall into any of the traditional hosting categories. Our entire infrastructure is built on Google Cloud and is different from traditional shared, VPS, or dedicated infrastructure.

Each site on our platform runs in an isolated software container that contains all the software resources needed to run the site (Linux, Nginx, PHP, MySQL). This means that the software that runs each site is 100% private and is not shared even between your own sites. We use Linux containers as the underlying container technology for our infrastructure.

Each site container runs on a large virtual machine, in this case the new Compute-Optimized (C2) VMs . It is located in one of GCP’s 37 data centers and protected by Cloudflare and the GCP firewall. Hardware benin phone number data resources (RAM/CPU) are allocated to each site container automatically by our virtual machines.

Compute-Optimized (C2) VMs are a new family of compute on GCP, exhibiting high per-thread performance and memory speeds that benefit the most compute-intensive workloads. Compute-Optimized VMs are ideal for HPC, electronic design automation (EDA), gaming, single-threaded applications, and more.

These machine types also take advantage of 2nd Generation Intel Scalable processors (Cascade Lake) and support all-core turbo boosting up to 3.8GHz. Additionally, C2 virtual machines provide full transparency into the architecture of the underlying server platforms, enabling advanced performance tuning.
