Overview

Node.js is an event-driven I/O server-side JavaScript environment based on the Chrome V8 engine. Fast and powerful, it can be used to build all kinds of web applications and work as the backend service environment for mini programs.
Note:
In the following example, we use the Node.js application image, which is based on CentOS 8.2 64-bit. Note that application images are subject to updates from time to time, and the actual image information on the purchase page shall prevail.

Directions

1. Log in to the Lighthouse console and configure the following parameters:
Region and Availability zone: Select the region and AZ near your target users to reduce the network latency and improve their access speed.
Image: Select the Node.js application image.
Instance bundle: Select an instance bundle according to the required instance configuration (including CPU, memory, system disk, bandwidth, and monthly traffic).
Instance name: Enter a custom instance name. If it is left empty, the selected image name will be used as the name by default. When multiple instances are created in a batch, their names will be consecutive with auto-incrementing suffixes. For example, if you enter "LH" as the name and select 3 as the quantity, 3 instances "LH1", "LH2", and "LH3" will be created.
Purchase period: One month by default.
Quantity: One instance by default.
2. Click Buy now to submit your order and make the payment as prompted.
