Configure your Compute Instance

Fill Machine Name

The first step in configuration is to choose the instance name, using the text field at the top of the page.

Select Region

Next, you can choose the region in which the instance will be deployed. Bear in mind that different specifications (RAM and Storage non-persistent) are available for different regions.

Link Persistent Volume

Depending on the region you've chosen, you can create a Volume (storage persistent) or link to a previously created Volume. To filter instances that accept persistent volumes, please select the corresponding option on the Compute page.

You'll not be able to link a Volume to the instance after its creation: this must be done at the time of launch. Find out more details about how to create and connect persistent storage to an instance.

Choose OS and Images

The OS availables are displayed in the dedicated section (see below). Note that you can also set-up your VM to be launched with an specific application, like TensorFlow or Pytorch for training, as well as ML Models for inference (see below)

Set-up SSH Key

To connect your instance, you'll need to generate a SSH Key through the section below.

To generate your public SSH key from your laptop, open your terminal and type the following command: ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "[e-mail]" . Then, type enter to select by-default saving place and use the following command to expose your public key: cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
