Cloud Virtual Machine (CVM) is a scalable cloud computing service. It frees you from estimation of resource usage and upfront investment. You can start CVM instances and deploy applications immediately.
This document describes how to create a Linux CVM instance from scratch in the simplest way. You can purchase and configure your first CVM instance by following the instructions below. For more information about building a Windows CVM instance, see Quickly Configuring Windows CVM Instance.

Prerequisite

You have registered a Tencent Cloud account. For more information, see Account Registration.

Configuring a Linux CVM Instance

Note
To ensure successful connection to TDSQL-C for MySQL, the purchased CVM and TDSQL-C for MySQL instances must meet the following requirements:
Both are under the same Tencent Cloud root account.
Both are in the same region.
‌Both are in the same VPC.

Step 1. Purchase a Linux CVM instance

1. Go to the quick purchase page.
2. On the purchase page, select the Quick Configuration tab, configure the CVM instance, and click Buy Now. The configuration is as described below:
Configuration Items
Description
Region
Select the same region as your TDSQL-C for MySQL cluster.
Instance

Operating system
Select the CVM operating system as needed. "CentOS 7.9 64-bit" is selected in this example.
Public IP
After this option is selected, a public IP will be assigned to your instance. The default public network bandwidth is "1 Mbps", which can be adjusted as needed.

After creating a CVM instance, you can obtain the random password in the Message Center.

1. Log in to the CVM console and select a region at the top.
2. Find the CVM instance you purchased in the instance list and click Log In in the Operation column on the right.

3. In the Standard Login | Linux Instance window, enter the username (which is root by default) and password of the CVM instance and click Log In.
4. A page will be displayed after successful login.
