Elastic Compute Service:Create an SCC instance

Procedure

1. Go to the ECS instance buy page.

2. Select a billing method, an instance type, and an image based on your business requirements.

   Parameter	Description
   Billing Method	The billing method determines the billing rules for an instance. The rules for resource state transitions also depend on the billing method. Valid values: Subscription pay-as-you-go Spot Instance
   Region	A region is a geographical area where data centers are deployed. Selecting a region closer to your users reduces network latency. You cannot change the region of an instance after you create it. For more information, see Regions and zones.
   Network and Zone	We recommend that you use a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). VPCs are logically isolated from each other, which enhances security. VPCs also support features such as elastic IP addresses (EIPs), Elastic Network Interfaces (ENIs), and IPv6. A zone is a physical location within a region that has independent power and network infrastructure. instances in the same zone have lower network latency, which provides faster access for users.
   Instance	In the Architecture row, select Super Computing Clusters in the High-performance Computing column, and then select an SCC instance type. Available instance types vary by region. You can visit Available instance types by region to check the availability of instance types. For more information about SCC instance types, see instance families. After you select an SCC instance type, in the Super Computing Clusters section, do one of the following: on the Existing Clusters tab, select an existing cluster to scale it out; or on the New Cluster tab, enter a name and description to create a new one. Important instances with different cluster IDs cannot communicate with each other. Choose the cluster ID carefully. If you are not sure which cluster ID to use, go to the Super Computing Clusters page, select a cluster, and then add instances to scale out the cluster.
   Images	An image provides the information required to run an instance. The available images are displayed on the page.

3. Configure storage, bandwidth, security group, and management settings.

   For detailed descriptions of the parameters, see Parameter description.

4. Before you create the instance, review your configuration in the right-side pane, configure options such as the subscription duration, and ensure the configuration meets your requirements.

5. Read and select ECS Terms of Service and Refund Policies and Procedure, and then click Confirm Order.

   Note

   You need to read and select Refund Policies and Procedure only if you purchase a Subscription instance.

   The instance creation process typically takes 3 to 5 minutes. You can go to the Instances page in the ECS console to view the status of the instance. An instance is ready when its status changes to Running.
