Billing and Rate Changes

We will be transitioning from the current advanced annual billing model to a usage-based monthly billing model and implementing the

How-To's
|
|
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication
|
|
Two-factor authentication is an additional layer of security designed to prevent unauthorized access to your account and protect access to the Virtual Machines and other data you store with the ITS Private Cloud. Please, consider enabling MFA.
|
|
Upgrade a virtual machine to the latest supported hardware version
|
|
Virtual hardware 13 or newer is highly recommended. It enables CPU features which reduce the performance impact of the mitigations for various CPU vulnerabilities.
