Creating a VM with a Control Panel for Nebula

Creating a Virtual Machine

• Obtain an SSH key pair to connect to the virtual machine (VM).

• Create a VM from a public image. In the Image/boot disk selection block, switch to the Cloud Marketplace tab and select nebula. In the Access block:

  • in the Login field, enter, for example, ubuntu;

  • in the SSH key field, paste the contents of your public SSH key file. Save the VM’s public IP address.

• Connect to the VM over SSH. To do this, use the login your-username and the private SSH key you created earlier.
