Cloud-init is a multi-distribution package that [provides boot time customization for cloud servers](/instances/how-to/use-boot-modes/#how-to-use-cloud-init). It enables an automatic Instance configuration as it boots into the cloud, turning a generic Ubuntu image into a configured server in a few seconds.

Flexible IP addresses are public IP addresses that you can hold independently of any Instance. When you create a Scaleway Instance, by default, its public IP address is also a flexible IP address. Flexible IP addresses can be attached to and detached from any Instances you wish. You can keep a number of flexible IP addresses in your account at any given time. When you delete a flexible IP address, it is disassociated from your account to be used by other users. Find out more with our dedicated documentation on [how to use flexible IP addresses](/instances/how-to/use-flexips/). See also [Dynamic IPs](#dynamic-ip).

Placement groups allow you to run multiple Compute Instances, each on a different physical hypervisor. Placement groups have two operating modes. The first one is called `max_availability`. It ensures that all the Compute Instances that belong to the same cluster will not run on the same underlying hardware. The second one is called `low_latency` and does the opposite, bringing Compute Instances closer together to achieve higher network throughput.

The Scaleway platform makes it very easy to migrate your data from one Instance to another or upgrade your Instance to a more powerful one if your requirements grow. In this how-to, we will upgrade an Instance by migrating from a [DEV1-S](/instances/concepts/#development-instance) Instance to a [GP1-XS](/instances/reference-content/cost-optimized/#development-instances-and-general-purpose-instances) Instance. The new GP1-XS Instance will have the same [flexible IP](/instances/concepts/#flexible-ip) as the original DEV1-S Instance.
