Create an instance

The account balance must be positive and the quota must be sufficient to create the desired instance configuration.

Available OS​

The OneCloudPlanet team prepared images of some OSes. The list of ready-made images is available in your account in the window for creating a new virtual machine.

If necessary, you can import the OS image yourself.
