Deploy a Virtual Machine

Create a Virtual Machine from the Deploy VPS page in my.cubepath.com. Most options are pre-filled, so you can launch in a few clicks.

Note

Your account must be verified before you can deploy.

Deploy

1
Pick project and region
Choose the project the machine belongs to, then a region. Compute is available in Miami (MIA), Houston (HOU) and Barcelona (BCN).
2
Choose instance type and plan
Select Shared CPU (General Purpose or High Frequency) or Dedicated CPU (Dedicated CPU or High Frequency Dedicated CPU), then pick a resource plan.
3
Select OS or application
Pick an operating system (Ubuntu 24.04 by default) or a pre-configured application.
4
Set IP and authentication
IPv6 is free; IPv4 adds $1.50/month. Add one or more SSH keys, a root password, or both.
5
Configure and deploy
Set the hostname and quantity (up to 20). Optionally enable backups (+20%), a firewall or cloud-init, then click Deploy Now.

Important

Outbound SMTP ports 25 and 465 are blocked by default. Open a support ticket if you need them.

Once it's running, connect in two ways:

Console: open the machine and click Console for an in-browser VNC session. No client needed; handy when SSH is unreachable.
SSH: connect to the machine's public IP as root with the key or password you set: ssh root@<ip>.
