# Instances

Create, view, and manage Cypacky compute instances.

Instances are compute resources for running applications, services, or development environments. The **Compute > Instances** page lists instances in the current space and provides controls for creation, filtering, and bulk actions.

## List information

The instance list shows the name, region, status, size, image, network addresses, and other enabled fields. Use filters to narrow the results.

## Common actions
