Introduction:

For NovaCloud users requiring reliable and dedicated database infrastructure, deploying resources efficiently is a primary objective. NovaCloud, which offers affordable, reliable, and highly secure cloud computing, provides various methods for deploying virtual instances directly within the Customer Portal.

To accelerate application readiness, the Customer Portal features the Create Instance from One-Click Application deployment option. This specialized method streamlines the process of launching a Cloud Instance pre-configured with necessary software, specifically allowing users to launch an instance containing a database by selecting the Database category during creation.

This guide provides a professional, step-by-step walkthrough detailing how to launch a Cloud Instance containing your desired database using the One-Click Application feature in the NovaCloud Customer Portal. This process enables users to quickly provision a ready-to-use database environment when launching a cloud instance.

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 Database

Select the “Database” category from the available One-Click Application options.
The source indicates this is often the default category.

Step 6: Choose a database and choose the version

Select the specific database software (e.g., MySQL, MSSQL) and the required version you wish to deploy.

Step 7: 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 8: 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 9: 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 10: Select Public Key and copy database name and password

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

Step 11: 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 12: 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 completing the detailed process, you have efficiently utilized the Create Instance from One-Click Application feature to provision a specialized database environment within the NovaCloud Customer Portal. Your request to launch the instance has been queued for provisioning, and you can monitor its status (e.g., “Creating” or “Active”) on the Cloud Instances page. This streamlined deployment method ensures your new Cloud Instance is pre-configured with your selected database and version.

As you manage your new database instance, remember these crucial operational details:

Billing: All instances are charged hourly. Credits are deducted immediately on a prorated basis until the end of the current hour, and standard hourly charges apply thereafter.
Security: For security reasons, outgoing SMTP traffic is restricted.
Access: Ensure you have recorded the database credentials (name and password) that were provided during the creation process, and remember that access is facilitated by the selected Public Key.
