Setting Up a Virtual Machine (Step One)

In the infrastructure page, after selecting a connected project, to create your first virtual machine, go to the Virtual Machines section and click on the Create Virtual Machine button:

The first step in creating a new virtual machine is selecting the Operating System. Choose the desired operating system:

In the second step, a list of available resources in Kubit is provided. Select the appropriate size and specifications based on your needs:

If you need additional storage space, in this step, you can select an additional disk for your machine. Click on the Add New Disk button:

Then, select the Name and Capacity you need:

For configuring your machine’s security settings, you can use an SSH key or a password. If using a key, you can select multiple SSH keys, and if no SSH key is selected, a password will be sent via email.

In this step, a list of keys created in the project and organization-shared keys is available, from which you can choose, or you can directly add a new key.

Choose the desired keys from the existing ones and click Next Step:

• Click on the Add SSH Key field.

• Then, enter the key details, including Name and SSH Public Key, and click Add Key.

  Then, the added key will be available, and you can select it.

In this step, network configuration, including adding a network interface and assigning a floating IP, is performed. To assign a floating IP, you must first define at least one network interface for your machine.

First, click on Add Network Interface to open the information form:

Then, you can choose from the project’s subnets or organization-shared subnets, or create a new subnet:

Choose one from the available subnets:

• First, click on the Add New Subnet option.
• Then, enter the subnet details, including Name, CIDR, and Gateway.
• Finally, if you wish to share this subnet across the organization, select the Use this subnet in all projects option and click Create Subnet.

• After selecting a subnet, you can also assign a floating IP to the machine. First, select the Assign a floating IP to this virtual machine! option.
• Then, you can choose from the project’s floating IPs or organization-shared floating IPs, or create a new floating IP.

Choose one from the available floating IPs:

Click on the Assign New Floating IP button to open the assignment form. Then, choose a name for it and click the Assign Floating IP button:

Finally, after selecting the subnet and assigning a floating IP, proceed to the next step.

In the final review, information such as the virtual machine’s name, location, operating system, processor, memory, additional disks, SSH keys, floating IP, and configured network interface is displayed.

To edit any of the specifications except the location, simply click on the pencil icon for the relevant specification:

Finally, after reviewing the machine’s specifications and settings, click the Create Virtual Machine button:

You will then be redirected to the Virtual Machine Overview page, and a job titled Create Virtual Machine will be created in parallel, displaying the status of the new machine creation: Upon successful completion of all jobs, access to the created virtual machine will be provided.

Refer to the Virtual Machine Settings section for documentation related to the virtual machine overview page.
