Create Virtual Machine in Oracle Cloud for Student
Registration in Oracle Cloud for student requires an email address. You won’t need to supply a credit card right away because you will have SGD400 credits for 365 days. You can use the credits to explore Oracle Cloud free.
Now, let’s try to create Virtual Machine.
- You can enter username and password to Sign in Oracle cloud.
2. Scroll down and you can see Create a VM instance in Launch Resources. Click and we can start to create.
3. Enter name instance. You can add or change the name later. Avoid entering confidential information. Here I use by default.
(Optional) If you want to choose a capacity type or specify a fault domain, click Show advanced options.
3. In Image and Shape section you can edit or changes your VM by click Edit. By default, an Oracle Linux 7.x image is used to boot the instance. To select a different image or a boot volume, in the Image section, click Change Image. There are several options according to what you want.
4. Click Edit in Networking to create a new Virtual cloud network. You can changes network name and subnet name.
- New name: A friendly name for the network. Avoid entering confidential information.
- Create in compartment: The compartment where you want to put the new network.
- CIDR block: A single, contiguous CIDR block for the subnet (for example, 172.16.0.0/24). Make sure it’s within the cloud network’s CIDR block and doesn’t overlap with any other subnets. You cannot change this value later.
5. Select Generate a key pair for me. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure generates an RSA key pair for the instance. Click Save Private Key, and then save the private key on your computer. Optionally, click Save Public Key and then save the public key.
6. In Boot volume section select Use in-transit encryption. See Block Volume Encryption for more information about in-transit encryption.
7. Okay, now click Create and Taraaa!!!! you have a Virtual Machine in Oracle cloud.
To remotely virtual machine, you must use ssh private key. Click this to the tutorial remote VM.
