Service Ordering¶

Catalog¶

The Catalog tab provides access to a catalog of ready-to-use images and templates designed for quick and convenient creation of virtual machines and VM groups.
The catalog includes pre-configured service images that allow you to deploy a fully functional environment. After selecting the desired service, the user is prompted to fill out an order form by specifying the required parameters and configuration details.

Service List¶

Selecting a Service and Configuring Parameters¶

First, navigate to the Catalog tab and select the required VM image version.

Different VM Ordering Dialogs

Depending on the selected image, different ordering interfaces (dialogs) may be used.

Next, fill in the order form and specify the following parameters:

Extra Disk Size – size of the additional disk;
Extra Disk Type – selection of the storage type used for the additional disk of the virtual machine.

Customization¶

Instances – the number of virtual machines with the selected configuration within a single service (Instance Group);
User Data – user-defined configuration (Cloud-Init or Sysprep) used to automate VM setup after deployment (installing packages, configuring access, running scripts, etc.).
For more details, see the Cloud-Init Reference.

Network Settings¶

IP Assign Policy – method of assigning an IP address to the virtual machine:
- Automatic (DHCP) — the IP address is assigned automatically by the DHCP server from the available subnet pool;
- Manual — the IP address is specified manually by the user.
Info

For more details, see IP address management methods.
IP Subnet – the subnet from which the IP address will be allocated, depending on the selected assignment policy.
