Create a VM

Create a Linux VM with image, CPU mode, resources, SSH keys, and networking.

A short walkthrough of the create form.

Before you begin

  • Access to the project with Admin or Superadmin role.

Steps

  1. Open the project and click Create VM.
  2. Choose an image, hostname, and username, and set a password. We do not store passwords — you cannot view it in the portal later.
  3. Set CPU mode (Performance, Eco, or Slim), vCPU, RAM, and OS disk using the form tiers.
  4. Add SSH keys.
  5. Choose public WAN, a private network LAN interface, or both.
  6. Click Create and wait about a minute (initial system setup runs in the background).

Watch out

  • On all Linux images, SSH password login is disabled — only SSH keys work. To enable password SSH, see SSH password login.
  • Minimum vCPU is 2, step is 2. RAM and OS disk are chosen from tiers based on vCPU count.
  • HA is not enabled at create time; enable it later in Datacenter → High Availability.
