 Hi All,

This blog post will show you how to launch an OCI Compute Instance.

Once you log in to the OCI Cloud using your tenancy, click on compute on the top left side and then Instance as shown below.

After you click on the instance it will take you to the create instance page see below.

Once you click on the create instance button it will ask you to fill in details like

Instance Name

Choose Compartment

Choose AD (Availability Domain) 

Fault Tolerant

Shape and OS 

Networking 

 

From the above screenshot, you can see that you can add an SSH key or OCI will generate for you, so you can choose anyone.

If you choose the option "Generate SSH key", download it because it is used for logging in to the server.

Once you have done with all the details click on create, it will be in a Provision state.

After a while, the Compute Instance will be up and running as shown below in the Screenshot.

You have successfully created a Compute Instance in OCI.

You can start, stop, reboot, and terminate a Compute Instance from OCI Console.

Thanks for reading.

Regards
