Chapter 3. Create a New Cloud Server

In this chapter you will create two new Cloud Servers (or use two existing Cloud Servers) to set up as nodes for your load balancer.

	Note
	If you are using existing Cloud Servers on your account, skip Steps 1-5 and go directly to Step 6 below.

Create a Cloud Server using the Cloud Servers section of the Cloud Control Panel (login here: Control Panel Login).

	Note
	You can also create a Cloud Server using the Cloud Servers API. Refer to the Cloud Servers API Developer Guide for details.

Procedure 3.1. To create a Cloud Server using the Cloud Control Panel:

Click Servers to view the Cloud Servers page.
Using the Region drop-down menu, select the appropriate region, depending on whether you want to create a first generation Cloud Server or a next generation Cloud Server. (The type of Cloud Server does not matter for this exercise.)
Select an image from a list of different operating systems, including Linux Distributions and Windows Images:
Specify the Server Name and select a Size for your Cloud Server, then click Create Server.
Create a second Cloud Server by performing Steps 1-4 again.
Record the IP addresses of your Cloud Servers below (from the information displayed in the Cloud Servers section of the Cloud Control Panel):
- FIRST Cloud Server IP Address = _______________________________________
- SECOND Cloud Server IP Address = _______________________________________
