# Cloud VMs from the CLI

```bash theme={"theme":"css-variables"}
curl -LsSf https://machine0.io/install.sh | sh
machine0 new my-vm
machine0 ssh my-vm
```

machine0 creates persistent cloud VMs from the command line. One command gives you a VM with dedicated CPU/RAM/GPUs, [modern agents and tooling](/platform/images), a static IP, and HTTPS at `<vm>.mac0.io`. Every command has `--json`. A [remote MCP server](/mcp/overview) lets agents drive everything programmatically.

## What you get

* **NixOS or Ubuntu:** provision with [Nix flakes](https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-nixos) or [Ansible](https://github.com/fdmtl/machine0-ubuntu). All images are open source.
* **Dedicated KVM/QEMU:** 1-60 vCPU, up to 240 GB RAM. Not shared.
* **GPUs:** H100, H200, MI300X, L40S. From \$0.836/hr.
* **Suspend & resume:** snapshot state, stop billing, restore later. Pay only image storage while suspended.
* **Static IPs & HTTPS:** every VM gets a public IP and authenticated HTTPS at `<vm>.mac0.io`.
* **In-browser SSH terminal:** one click from the web dashboard for VMs with a managed key — no local setup needed.
* **Snapshots:**  image any VM, version it, spin up clones.
* **File sync:** `sync push` and `sync pull` with `--watch`.
* **4 regions:** New York, London, Amsterdam, Singapore. Same price everywhere.
* **Per-minute billing:** starts at $0.013/hr (~$9/mo). No commitments, refundable credits.
