Cloud VMs

For an event, a specific region, or a machine bigger than Eagle 3D Streaming's standard hardware, your app can run on a dedicated cloud VM — either yours or one Eagle 3D Streaming provisions for you.

Start by sending support the app URL

Whichever route you take, this comes first. From a running app, support can measure what it actually needs, rather than guessing from a description of it. That one step tells you whether hardware you already have is enough, what to provision if it is not, and where a choice would cause trouble under load.

Two routes

Bring your own VM

You provision it under your own cloud account. Eagle 3D Streaming confirms it meets what your app needs and configures pixel streaming on top. You keep control of the account, the billing and the region.

Have Eagle 3D Streaming provide one

Eagle 3D Streaming chooses, provisions and manages the machine. You send the app URL and, if you have one, a preferred provider. Setup and hosting for the event are handled end to end.

If you are bringing your own, tell support the cloud provider, the GPU model, the VRAM, the CPU tier or core count, and the system memory. Those five let support confirm the machine before you commit to it.

Providers and GPUs commonly set up

This list is not a limit. If your provider is not here, send it to support along with your app URL, and support will confirm compatible hardware for it. These are simply the ones with ready-made configurations.

Every GPU in this table predates the RTX 40-series, so none of them encodes AV1. On these VMs the stream is H264 (or VP8/VP9, encoded in software); an app set to AV1 falls back to H264. See codec.

Hosting a multiplayer server app

Multiplayer server apps can be hosted on Eagle 3D Streaming's shared machines, currently free of charge — confirm the current terms for your plan with support before relying on it. That is genuinely useful for testing, demos and light multiplayer — and the word doing the work is shared.

What free shared hosting means

For anything with real players depending on it, a dedicated VM from the section above is the answer. The free tier is for proving the thing works, not for running it in front of an audience.
