A fully managed service instance is a service entity created by a customer based on a Compute Nest service. The software and resources are deployed within the accounts of the service providers. This topic describes how to create a fully managed service instance.
Background information
If you create a service instance through a Compute Nest deployment URL, you can use either a customer deployment URL or a service provider deployment URL.
Customer Deployment URL: After deployment, the status is Pending Deployment. Because the service provider's resources are used, the service provider must confirm the deployment. For more information, see Create a service instance by using a customer deployment URL.
Service Provider Deployment URL: The service provider must enter the customer ID when creating the instance to help the customer complete the deployment. For more information, see Create a service instance by using a service provider deployment URL.
If you create a service instance through an Alibaba Cloud Marketplace Product URL (searched on the homepage or provided by the service provider), you can skip the Pending Deployment state. For more information, see Create a service instance from Alibaba Cloud Marketplace.
This topic describes only the general process for deploying service instances. For specific deployment details, see the corresponding service instance deployment documentation.
Create a service instance by using a customer deployment URL
Go to the service instance deployment page by using the deployment URL of the Compute Nest service provided by your service provider.
In the Region drop-down list, select the region in which you want to deploy the service instance.
If you do not select a region, the region in which the service is deployed is used by default when the instance is deployed.
Optional: If the service can be accessed from virtual private clouds (VPCs) by using PrivateLink, you must configure the parameters described in the following table in the Network Settings section.
You can configure up to 10 VPCs based on your business requirements.
