Create a virtual machine (Advanced Console)

This article will help you create a new virtual machine (or instance).

In the DataTenant Cloud, a virtual machine is called an 'instance'. This article will guide you on creating a new instance.

Pre-requisites

In order to have a successful instance build, you'll want to make sure you have a few things squared away first.

• Ensure you have a keypair available to use. Your keypair will be used to grant you access to the virtual machine after it's been created.
  • If you need help creating a keypair, please review our Create a keypair article.

• Ensure you have an acceptable security group created for network purposes.
