E2E CloudNode
A node is a virtual machine you create and manage from MyAccount: pick an operating system or a ready-made Marketplace product, choose a plan, and it is running within a few minutes. Your nodes are listed under Compute > Nodes, alongside the status, IP addresses, and actions menu for every node you have created.

What you will see on a node’s page
Section titled “What you will see on a node’s page”Click a node in Compute > Nodes to open its details page. It shows the node’s uptime, with memory and storage charts, and a row of tabs, each for one part of the node: Node Details, CDP Backup Details, Network, Security Group, Node Security, Monitoring, Bandwidth Monitoring, Snapshots, Alerts, Volumes, Audit Logs, and Scheduled Actions, plus GPU Monitoring on a GPU node. Volumes lists each attached volume with its size and IOPS. Audit Logs is the node’s history: a timeline of its activity, the actions you or the system ran on it, and its billing events, which is the first place to look when you want to know what changed and when.
