Creating An Instance

Once logged in, click on Create a VM Instance

Name your instance, and remember what domain you picked. This Will be important later.

Change the image to Canonical Linux.

Change the shape to Ampere, 4 cores, and 24 gigs of ram.

Download both the private, and public SSH keys. After downloading, move them out of your downloads folder, into another location. This will be important later, if you want them to function correctly. I put them in Documents > SSH Keys > <servername>.

Now specify a storage size Remember, you only have 200GB Total free. So if you use up all 200 GB here, you won't be able to create another instance.

Hit Create. It will take a few minutes to provision your server. Get a cup of tea, and come back.
