Overview

Getting a working instance takes three steps: deploy it, add an SSH key so you can reach it, then connect.

  1. Create an instance — choose a GPU or CPU model, storage, and an operating system, then deploy.
  2. Manage SSH keys — generate a key pair (or reuse one) and add it to your project so it's available when you deploy.
  3. Connect to your server — SSH in using the IP address shown on your instance card.

Do steps 1 and 2 in either order — you can add an SSH key while deploying, or beforehand from Credentials. Once your instance is running and your key is attached, connecting takes one command.
