Dear Customer,

We’re reaching out to share an important update about our services. To continue delivering the best solutions and a streamlined experience, we’re retiring our VC1, START1 & X64 offers and transitioning to the more recent Dev1 offers.

VC1, START1 & X64 instances are being replaced by equivalent DEV1 instances, which are already available across all our data centers. This transition will ensure you have access to improved performance and future-proof capabilities.

Why are we making this change?

We’ve had these legacy offers for years, which have already been in End of Sales status since December 2020. It’s now time to officially remove them from our catalog.

This decision reflects our efforts to simplify our offer while ensuring it meets evolving technical requirements. DEV1 instances offer better scalability, increased efficiency, and a stronger technical fit for modern workloads.

Additionally, all new features and updates are already exclusive to Dev1 virtual machines, allowing you to benefit from ongoing innovations.

What’s the timeline?

Customers can perform the migration themselves between March 18th, 2026, and May 31th, 2026. We recommend our customers that they trigger their migration themselves as soon as possible.

After this period, any remaining VC1, START1 & X64 instances will be automatically migrated to their corresponding DEV1 instances starting June, 1st, 2026.

Please note that the pricing will be updated for the Dev1 monthly price.
As an example here is the pricing for our Dev1-S instance.

DEV1-S: 0,0088€ per hour

You may find further detail on the pricing here https://www.scaleway.com/en/pricing/virtual-instances/

We strongly recommend you opt for the manual upgrade, as the automatic migration may lead to some disruption.

To make this transition as smooth as possible, a migration tool is available in the API - please consult our Migration Guide for more information.

Please note that VC1, START1 & X64 instances already no longer appear in the Console creation form, and VC1, START1 & X64 API functionality will be deprecated at the end of Q2 2026.
