X Virtual Machine Instances are operator-managed computational entities within an isolated environment that provides dedicated CPU, storage, and network resources. These instances are used for a variety of purposes, such as general workloads, workstations, databases, development, and staging environments. Unlike container instances, virtual machine instances operate within a secure hypervisor domain, ensuring exclusive access to resources.
The X Virtual Machine Instances service also supports:

- Custom Operating Systems
  Users can upload ISO images to load custom operating systems.
- PXE Network Boot
  Allows booting of operating systems over the network.
- TPM 2.0
  Provides support for operating systems that require a secure boot space.
- Template Operations
  Facilitates the use of pre-configured templates for creating and managing linked (instant) clones.
- vGPU Workstations
  The capability to utilize Nvidia vGPU devices for AI and graphics-intensive computing tasks.
