Description
Product Type
Select Subscription or Pay-as-you-go.
NotePay-as-you-go is a postpaid method that is typically used for testing or trial purposes.
Subscription is a prepaid method that is ideal for long-term use in production environments. The unit price for a subscription is lower than for pay-as-you-go.
Region and Zone
Select the region and zone to specify the physical location of the instance.
NoteIf you select multiple zones, such as Zone B and Zone F, it means the primary and secondary nodes of the instance are in different zones. The compute nodes are distributed evenly across the selected zones and do not require separate specification.
Instance Type
This is fixed to Dedicated Instance and cannot be changed.
Network Type
Select Classic Network or Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
NoteIf you select VPC, you must first create a VPC and a virtual switch in the target region and zone. For more information, see Create and manage a VPC.
