machine0 is a CLI for creating, provisioning, and snapshotting persistent cloud VMs. One command gives you a VM with dedicated CPU/RAM, a static IP, and an HTTPS endpoint. Provision declaratively with NixOS flakes or Ubuntu with Ansible.

Features

• NixOS with Flakes — provision VMs declaratively. Deterministic builds, one-command rollbacks, no drift.
• Or Ubuntu with Ansible — pre-installed images with Docker, Node, Python, and popular agents. Ansible provisioning supported.
• Dedicated resources — real KVM/QEMU. 1 to 60 vCPU, up to 240 GB RAM. Not shared.
• GPUs — H100, H200, MI300X, L40S, RTX 4000 Ada, W6000 Ada. Single or 8x configurations. From $0.836/hr.
• Suspend & resume — snapshot a VM's state, stop billing, restore later. Pay only image storage while suspended.
• Static IPs & HTTPS — every VM gets a public IP and authenticated HTTPS at <vm>.mac0.io.
• Snapshots & images — snapshot any VM into a reusable image. Version, promote, and set as default for new VMs.
• File sync — sync push and sync pull with --watch for continuous sync.
• CLI + MCP — every command has --json. A remote MCP server is also available for programmatic control.
• 4 regions — New York, London, Amsterdam, Singapore. Same pricing everywhere.
• Per-minute billing — no commitments, refundable credits. A small VM runs 24/7 for ~$9/mo.
• 99.99% uptime SLA — instance-level.
• Firewall — ufw enabled by default. Ports 22, 80, 443 open.
