There is a notification Building Instance (nama-instance) that states that the instantiation process is being carried out.

After the building instance is successful, there will be a success notification Instance (nama-instance) has been successfully created.

Create Floating IP

Floating IP is a public static IP address used by VM in instances that provides access from an external network to VM in instances without a public network interface.

Select Billing Type which will be adjusted.

On Resource Type select Instance.

On Resource Type column select the previously created Instance and in the VPC Port column select the previously created VPC.

After filling in all columns on the Floating IP tab click Assign Floating IP.

If the assigned floating IP is successful, the floating IP will appear on the floating IP list.

Security Firewall Rute

Security Firewall permits or denies connections to or from a VM based on a predefined configuration.
