Upgrading and Downgrading on Olvy Cloud
Your Cloud Plan can be upgraded or downgraded, in other words scaled vertically, if you need more CPU, RAM, Disk resources. This feature is very useful if number of visitors increased, so server requires additional resources to process them, or if you need to store more data.
To complete upgrade Olvy will power off Virtual Machine, migrate it to another node in the same data-center and apply requested resources. Your server data, server configuration and IP address will not be changed. Note, migration may take 1 minute for every 5 GB of Virtual Machine Disk size.
