Compute Instance
A Compute Instance is a virtual server in the cloud that you can use just like a physical computer. It has its own CPU, memory, and storage, and you can install software, run applications, or host websites on it. With a Compute Instance, you have full control over your server environment, which makes it flexible for different types of tasks. It’s a core part of using cloud services, as it allows you to quickly launch and scale servers based on your needs.
To create an Instance through Antyxsoft Cloud Platform follow these steps:
From the side panel click on Instances.
Click on the plus (+) button located on the right you will be presented with the Compute Instance creation menu.
- First chose the Project you want the Instance to be created at.
- Then you'll have to select the datacenter location where the Instance will be created.
- Moving forward, you will have to choose the network the Instance will be at. For more information about the available network options visit the respected guides.
- Next, choose whether you want your server to have a public IPv4 address. This allows external access to the Instance over the internet.
Then you will have to select the operating system of your Instance. You can also select from the available Marketplace Apps Antyxsoft Cloud Platform provides or from an uploaded ISO that you provided.
- Next you have the option to select the CPU Type.
- Choose the Compute Instance plan. You can select from the predifined ones or set a custom plan yourself.
- Optionally you can add your SSH key or add a Startup Script to your Instance .
- Next, give your Instance a unique name and a valid hostname.
- Finally choose the Billing Cycle and then click on Review & Deploy.
After the Compute Instance has been created and fully initialized, you can begin configuring it to meet your requirements and start utilizing it.
Now from the Instance Overview menu you can find more options to customize and manage your VM. Reffer to these guide for more details:
