Introduction:

For Customer Portal users seeking to optimize application performance, reduce latency, and improve database load efficiency, deploying a dedicated caching solution is often necessary. NovaCloud offers an affordable, reliable, highly secure cloud computing service.

To meet the requirement of easily provisioning a Cloud Instance containing cache infrastructure, 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 powerful caching software, such as Redis or Memcached. The use of caching tools like Redis is highly valued for its speed and versatility, enhancing application responsiveness and overall system throughput.

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

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 Cache and Select Application

Ensure the Category is selected as Cache.
Select the specific cache application you wish to deploy (e.g., Redis 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.

Step 9: Select Public Key and copy Cache name and password

Select the necessary Public Key for secure access.
Ensure you copy the auto-generated cache name and password.

Step 10: Configure Port of security group and security group rules

Define which ports should be opened in the security group for the database (e.g., specific TCP ports)
Apply predefined security rules (e.g., allowing SSH or HTTP/S traffic).

Step 11: Assign Security Groups, Select Network to attach and click create

Apply specific existing security groups (if needed)
Select the network(s) to attach.

Important Note ⚠️: You can skip the assigned security group system and the system will auto assign a security group for you. Attaching a private network automatically assigns a private IP to ensure secure, private, and performant communication, and network transfers between private IP addresses are not metered.

Step 13: Scroll and click Create

A confirmation pop-up will appear. Review the specifications, scroll to the bottom, and click Create to launch the instance.

Step 14: Click Instance

Click the “Instances” button in the confirmation pop-up to navigate to the list of Cloud Instances.

Step 15: Success

Your request to launch the instance has been queued, and the provisioning process is underway (status “Creating” or “Active”).

Conclusion:

By successfully following the detailed instructions, you have effectively leveraged the streamlined One-Click Application feature to deploy a Cache instance (such as Redis) within the NovaCloud Customer Portal. This process facilitated the efficient provisioning of your cache solution.

Upon confirming the cloud instance creation, your cache instance was queued for provisioning, and its status can be monitored in the “All Cloud Instances” section of your Customer Portal. It is crucial to remember the operational constraints of the service: all instances are charged hourly. Credits are deducted immediately on a prorated basis until the end of the current hour, after which standard hourly charges will apply thereafter. For security purposes, outgoing SMTP traffic is restricted.
