Locations & specs.

Sadly, no. The CPU you are placed on will be random within the location you choose. We do try to keep new deployments on modern hardware where possible, but with thousands of nodes across multiple regions we cannot replace every system at once, so new hardware is rolled into locations gradually over time.

Some locations are harder to source modern hardware in than others. In some cases, a region may also have been upgraded during the previous hardware cycle rather than the current one. Because of that, specs can vary a bit from one location to another.

It marks the hardware we are currently rolling into that location. Most newly deployed nodes in that region will be added under that newer spec.

It means availability of that spec in that location is very low. In most cases, we have only recently started offering it there or only have a small number of nodes live.

It means we intend to replace that hardware within the next 12 months. It is a goal rather than a fixed deadline, so timing can still change depending on stock, deployment schedules, and datacentre availability.

It means we are actively removing that hardware from the lineup and replacing it with newer, better systems over time.
