Purchasing in Console
1. Log in to the Lighthouse purchase page and configure the following information as prompted:
Application creation method: Application images, system images, custom images, and shared images are currently provided. You can choose as needed. For details, see Images.
Region: We recommend you select the region closest to your end users to minimize the access latency and improve the access speed.
Availability zone: Randomly assigned is selected by default. You can select one as well.
Note:
Instances in the same region can communicate with each other over the private network. For applications with high disaster recovery requirements, deploy Lighthouse instances to different AZs in the same region to ensure fault isolation. Note that it may cause a higher communication latency.
After creating an instance, you cannot change its AZ.
Instance bundle: Select a product portfolio sales method (involving Bundle type and Bundle specs). Different packages include combinations of the CPU, memory, Cloud SSD, bandwidth or peak bandwidth, and data transfer plan with different specifications. For details, see Basic Package.
Instance name: Enter a custom instance name. If it is left empty, the selected image name will be used as the name by default. When multiple instances are created in a batch, their names will be consecutive with auto-incrementing suffixes. For example, if you enter "LH" as the name and select 3 as the quantity, 3 instances "LH1", "LH2", and "LH3" will be created.
Login credential: Set the instance login credential.
Random password: The automatically generated password will be sent through the message center.
Custom password: Customize the instance login password.
SSH key: Bind an SSH key to a Linux instance.
Validity: Specify the usage duration of Lighthouse.
Note:
You can select Renew the instance automatically on a monthly basis if the account balance is sufficient to enable the auto-renewal feature. After successfully creating an instance, you can modify the current auto-renewal settings as instructed in Auto-Renewal.
Quantity: It indicates the number of Lighthouse instances to be purchased.
2. Click Buy now.
3. Make sure the configuration information is correct, click Submit order and make the payment as prompted.
