From UpCloud's AUP: Intentional or careless use of the Services in excess of a typically expected server load, such as continuosly high CPU or I/O use rate.

Does this mean that uses cases like ZenCoder (video encoding "in the cloud") would not be allowed on UpCloud, since they would max out the CPU?

Thanks for the question! ZenCoder and other resource intensive cases are what our service was built for.

The item in the UAP is there by our lawyers to make sure we can take steps to prevent abuse on the infrastructure by others (and thus possibly hurting others' performance).

So please run ZenCoder on our platform and do let us know how it compares to others :)
