What the Scaleway backend does now

Updated Dec 26, 2025
  • Resolves the freshest public image matching SCW_DEFAULT_IMAGE and architecture in the chosen zone.
  • Ensures the requested instance type is available before provisioning.
  • Creates an instance with a routed public IPv4 address and tags mriya and ephemeral.
  • Attaches a Block Storage volume if SCW_DEFAULT_VOLUME_ID is configured, then mounts it to /mriya after the instance boots.
  • Polls every five seconds (up to five minutes) until the instance is running and reachable via SSH on port 22.
  • Destroys the instance and polls until the API no longer lists it, failing if any residual resource remains.
