Steps to follow:

Step 1 : User accesses and logs in to User Site;

If the user accesses the vServer section of VNG Cloud, they can access the registered vCloudstack by clicking on the Region section and selecting the Region of vCloudStack.

Step 2: At the User Site interface, on the Navigation bar, select Server/Servers;

Step 3: On the Servers screen, select Create a new Server;

Step 4: At the Create Server screen, allow users to fill in the information to initialize as follows:

• Server name : enter the server name to identify the server after creation;

• Tag: Tag the server;

• Your Image:

  • OS: Select operating system for Server

  • My Images: Or select Image created for Server

  • My Backup: Or choose to restore Server with the created Backup file

  • My Snapshot: Or choose to restore the server with the created Snapshot file.

• Instance type : Choose the Server configuration that suits your needs.

• Volume settings: Configure the volume type by selecting the volume type, capacity, and IOPS.

vCloudStack provides an option to enable Volume Encryption , a function that allows all data stored on this Volume to be encrypted, preventing data loss but hackers still cannot use or view it.

• Network settings:

  • Select Network for the Server created in advance on the Admin Site page. (You can enter IP or the system will automatically select IP)

  • Select Security Group - Security Group

  • Choose 1 of 2 login information options:

    • Option 1: Basic Information - Base Data: Select the generated SSH key and enter the Username/Password information;

    • Option 2: User Data: Upload file or enter user information directly

Note: If the user information is encrypted, check the box “ User information is base 64 encoded ”.

• Other settings:

  • Backup Settings: select the “Enable Backup” option to have the system rely on the default backup policy to create the Server Backup file;

  • Select Placement Group to group servers together;

Note: Grouping servers into a group involves allowing servers to be allocated on a physical host or not to ensure performance and availability of the servers. ( See more in the Server Group section )

Step 5: Review all the virtual server initialization information on the left side of the interface screen. Then select the Initialize Server button .

Step 6: The system initializes successfully, users can access the server to use and operate.
