GitLab 的版本是什么？
Stackhero 旨在始终提供最新且稳定的 GitLab 版本，确保您可以访问最新功能并充分利用 GitLab 实例的全部功能。
使用的是哪个版本的GitLab？
GitLab 有两个版本：
Community 版，这是 GitLab 的免费开源版本。Enterprise 版，这是面向高级用户的付费版本。
这两个版本都可以在 Stackhero 上使用。默认情况下，您的服务将运行在
Community 版。您可以随时通过在 Stackhero 仪表板中激活一个按钮，自由切换到
Enterprise 版。在这种情况下，您需要从
GitLab Inc. 购买许可证，该公司销售这些许可证。
最大用户数量是多少？
与传统的云服务提供商不同，Stackhero 不限制用户数量！
您拥有自己的专用实例，这意味着您可以根据实例的支持能力托管任意数量的用户、存储库和数据。
我们这边没有任何限制。
是否可以使用SSH连接到实例？
由于Stackhero提供托管服务，因此无法使用SSH访问。如有任何安装需求，请联系支持以探索可能的解决方案。
Is it possible to restrict access based on IPs with a firewall?
Absolutely! Your instance has its own firewall where you can decide which IPs have access to which port in 2 clicks.
What cloud providers are used by Stackhero?
We created our own cloud software solution, making us completely independent from cloud providers. We deploy this innovative solution directly on bare-metal servers, providing you with incredible performance and stability.
Where is the data hosted?
Stackhero is a French company operating under European and French laws.
Servers are located, depending on your choice, either in the European Union (France) or in the USA.
Backups are stored in the European Union.
What is the software infrastructure?
Your service is composed of multiple subservices. All of them are running in containers, within a virtual machine, totally dedicated to you.
This VM is totally private and isolated from other clients, offering a highly secured environment with very high-performance.
It is hosted on a bare-metal server running Stackhero DC OS, our own Linux distribution.
What about disk performance?
We use disks physically plugged to your instances.
We don't use network disks, contrary to traditional cloud solutions, that are slow and expensive.
This way we ensure best performances and exceptional IOPS.
What is the atomic backup system?
The problem with traditional backup systems is that files are saved at different times interval.
Let's say you have 2 files, a.txt and b.txt. Your backup starts at 9am and it finishes at 10am.
The file a.txt will contain data from 9am and b.txt will contain data from 10am.
This is traditional in backups systems and is a big issue leading to consistency problems.
This is why we developed an in-house backup system that takes an atomic image of your instance at a precise moment.
Atomic in a way that we can guarantee that all files from the backup have been taken exactly at the same time.
If your backup starts at 9am, all files will have data from 9am. You have a perfect consistent and reliable backup.
Are backups encrypted?
Backups are first transmitted to a dedicated server, which verifies and validates the data. Once these checks have been approved, the backups are encrypted and archived.
Encryption uses ECDH and Curve25519 as part of the OpenPGP protocol, with a unique key generated for each backup.
How does billing work?
At the beginning of each month, our system computes how many hours your services were up and a detailed invoice is created.
You receive a single monthly invoice, containing all your services, clearly explained and easy to understand. Your accounting department will love that!
What certifications does Stackhero hold?
The primary mission of Stackhero is to provide a platform that is easy to use, extremely reliable, and highly secure.
A key element in achieving this mission is the annual attainment of the ISO 27001 certification, a globally recognized quality and security label.
This certification, awarded following a rigorous audit conducted by an independent external body, attests to compliance with the strictest international standards in information security.
