Some of the FAQs in particular to Instance Creation and Flavors

Q1: How do I create a new instance on the Qumulus Cloud platform?

A: To create a new instance, follow these steps:

* Go to the "Compute" section.

* Click on "Instances".

Q2: What are the default settings for creating a new instance?

A: The default settings are as follows:

* Operating System: Ubuntu-22.04-Jammy

* Boot from Volume: No

* Flavor: t1.medium

* Networks: Internal

* Security Group: Default

* Keypair: First key pair on the list

Q3: Can I change the default settings while creating an instance?

A: Yes, you can customize the settings according to your requirements before creating the instance.

Q4: How do I select a different operating system or flavor for my instance?

A: When creating the instance, you can choose a different operating system or flavor from the list provided in the instance creation form.

Q5: What is the purpose of the "Keypair" setting?

A: The "Keypair" setting allows you to specify the SSH key pair that will be used for accessing the instance securely.

Q6: Can I use my own SSH key pair instead of the default one?

A: Yes, you can select your preferred SSH key pair from the list provided during the instance creatiااااااon process.

Q7: How long does it take to create a new instance?

A: The time taken to create a new instance may vary depending on factors such as the cloud platform's load and the chosen configuration. Typically, it takes a few minutes to complete the process.

Q8: Are there any additional steps required after creating the instance?

A: Once the instance is created, you may need to configure it further, install software, and set up networking or security settings as per your requirements.

Q9: Can I delete an instance after creating it?

A: Yes, you can delete an instance from the Qumulus Cloud platform when it is no longer needed. This can help in managing resources efficiently and avoiding unnecessary charges.

Q10: What are the different types of instance flavors available on the Qumulus Cloud platform?

A: Qumulus Cloud offers three types of instance flavors to cater to different workload requirements:

* General Purpose

* Compute Optimized

* Memory Optimized

Q11: What is a General Purpose instance flavor?

A: General Purpose instance flavors are designed to provide a balanced mix of compute, memory, and storage resources. They are suitable for a wide range of workloads, including web servers, small to medium databases, development environments, and more.

Q12: When should I choose a Compute Optimized instance flavor?

A: Compute Optimized instance flavors are optimized for applications that require high computational power, such as data analytics, scientific simulations, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. These instances typically offer higher CPU-to-memory ratios and are ideal for CPU-bound tasks.

Q13: What workloads are best suited for Memory Optimized instance flavors?

A: Memory Optimized instance flavors are designed for applications that demand large amounts of memory, such as in-memory databases, caching systems, and memory-intensive analytics. These instances provide a high memory-to-CPU ratio, allowing them to handle large datasets and perform memory-intensive tasks efficiently.

Q14: How do I choose the right instance flavor for my workload?

A: To select the appropriate instance flavor for your workload, consider the specific requirements of your applications, including CPU, memory, and storage needs. Assess whether your workload is CPU-bound, memory-bound, or requires a balanced mix of resources, and choose the flavor that best aligns with those requirements.
