# Get a cloud server

> Header info for one VDS: the legacy flat fields, any long-running task in flight (so a reloaded page picks its progress
back up), the shared `machine` shape, and your `role` on it. Power in `machine` is the poller's reading, not a live call.
Owners and team members with any role can read it.
