Building your new machine

Create a new HP Cloud instance. The first row in your Running Instances table appears.

After a minute or two, the Build(spawning) message in the status column changes to Active.

You can now use the new machine. Connecting to your new HP Cloud instance is similar to connecting to an AWS instance - use the private key and PuTTY.
