Compute Nest:Create a trial service instance

Usage notes

Before you create a trial service instance, take note of the following items:

• The procedure for creating a trial service instance is the same as that for creating a service instance.

• A trial service instance is retained for a specific period of time. After the retention period ends, the trial service instance is automatically deleted. Do not use trial service instances for production purposes.

Create a trial service instance

1. Log on to the Compute Nest console.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Service Catalog.

3. On the Service Catalog page, find the service that you want to use and click View Details in the service section.

4. On the service details page, click Free Trial.

5. On the Create Free Trial Service Instance page, configure the parameters as prompted.

   • If the service supports PrivateLink and you want to access the service from virtual private cloud (VPCs) by using PrivateLink, select VPC Access in the Network Settings section. In the VPC Information section, configure the VPC, Security Group, and Zone and vSwitch parameters.

   • If you want to use the recommended custom domain name configured by the service provider, select Use the recommended custom domain name.

     Note

     If you use a custom domain name, you are charged based on the billing of Alibaba Cloud DNS PrivateZone. If you do not use a custom domain name, you can use the domain name or IP address of the endpoint to access the service by using PrivateLink. For more information, see the Use PrivateLink to access a service instance section of this topic.

6. Click Next: Confirm Order.

7. After you confirm the order information, select I have read and agree to Compute Nest Terms of Service and click Start Free Trial.

8. After the trial service instance is created, you can view the information about the trial service on the service instance details page. For more information, see the View a trail service instance section of this topic.
