How do I launch a NovaCloud Instance?
You can choose to launch the instance based on your needs.
To start a fresh server, choose Image deployment. If you already have Snapshots or Volumes in NovaCloud, consider deploying from Snapshot or Volume. To save developer time, go for One-Click Application for a server with pre-installed apps. Here is a summary of the differences for your reference.
| Instance Deployment Method | Description |
| Image | Choose this option if you want to build a completely new server. You can select the operating system, computing resources, and storage that suit your needs. |
| Snapshot | Use this if you already have a snapshot backup in NovaCloud. It lets you deploy a new server using the state of a system at a particular point in time. |
| Volume | You can use this choice to set up a new server by attaching it to an existing volume in NovaCloud. This option lets you restore your instance if any issues arise or you need to undo any changes. |
| One-Click Application | Great for software developers who want to save time. This method launches a server with pre-installed apps such as Docker, MSSQL, WordPress, LAMP, and more without manual setup. |
