Introduction:

For Customer Portal users who require systems for hosting, running, and developing complex, multi-tiered applications, ensuring environment consistency, or facilitating rapid deployment of development platforms, provisioning a Cloud Instance pre-configured with an Application Stack solution is essential. The underlying platform, NovaCloud, offers an affordable, reliable, highly secure cloud computing for everyone.

To meet the requirement of easily provisioning a Cloud Instance containing application infrastructure, such as .NET Core, the Customer Portal provides the Create Instance from One-Click Application deployment option. This specialized feature allows users to launch an instance pre-configured with the necessary Application Stack service, streamlining the deployment process which is initiated at the beginning of creating the cloud instance.

This guide provides a professional, step-by-step walkthrough detailing how a customer portal user can successfully launch a Cloud Instance containing their desired Application Stack infrastructure by selecting the Application Stack category when initiating the One-Click Application process at the customer portal.

Prerequisites:

The user must have access to the Customer Portal.
The account balance must contain sufficient credit/points
The user must select an existing Public Key during the creation process. If you do not have any keys yet, you are required to generate or import one before proceeding.

Step-by-step Guide:

Step 1: Click NovaCloud

Locate and click on the NovaCloud section in the left-hand navigation menu to access cloud resources.

Step 2: Click Cloud Instances

Navigate to the management interface for your virtual machine resources.

Step 3: Click Launch Project

Initiate the process for deploying a new cloud resource.

Step 4: Click Create Instance from One-Click Application

Select the accelerated deployment method designed for provisioning instances pre-installed with your chosen application (database).

Step 5: Choose Category as Application Stack and Select Application

Ensure the Category is selected as Application Stack.
Select the specific cache application you wish to deploy (e.g., .NET Core and choose the version).

Step 6: Select a Plan

Choose the appropriate resource plan (CPU, RAM, data transfer limits) for your database instance.

Important Note ⚠️: You can optionally choose a RAM Optimised plan if your needs require higher performance characteristics, which is particularly suitable for data storage applications.

Step 7: Select Your Storage and Key in Volume Size

Define the volume size for your storage.

Important Note ⚠️: The volume size must be at least 10 GB and no more than 1000 GB in size.

Step 8: Select Project to Attach, Key in Name Instance and Click Continue

Associate the instance with an existing project (if desired) and provide a unique name for your instance.

Important Note ⚠️: The instance name can only contain letters, numbers, underscores and dashes, and must be between 1 and 60 characters long.
