# Create VM Instance

{% hint style="danger" %}
Before creating an instance or VM, you need to create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network in Create VPC Network, and create a Server Group first in Create Server Group.
{% endhint %}

This section describes how to create Virtual Machine. Virtual Machine (VM) is a virtual version of a physical computer. Virtual machine software can run programs and operating systems, store data, connect to networks, and do other computing functions.

### Create Instance from Public Image

Public Image is provided by Cloudeka by default all customers have access to this image and can use it to create instances. The first step in creating a VM instance is to click the Instance menu.

* Click the Create Instance button.

### Create Instance from Custom Image

Custom images are only available for your Cloud project, you need to import your Custom Image into Cloudeka first in the custom image. For further explanation on importing custom images press [this link](https://docs.cloudeka.ai/deka-flexi/deka-volume-images/custom-image). Then, use custom images to create the instance. The following are the steps for creating an instance using a custom image on the Service Portal AI:

* On the Instances page, click Create Instance.

* After the Instance Data Disk is added, it will appear in the Custom Instance Data Disk section. You can add a Data Disk by pressing the Add Custom Data Disk button or delete the Data Disk configuration that has been added by pressing the Delete button. If you have configured the Data Disk, press the Next button to go to the next stage.

* In the third stage, namely Network, there is a VPC Network. Make sure you have created the VPC that the VM will use. For further explanation of the VPC that will be used, please [click here](https://docs.cloudeka.id/deka_flexi/deka-flexi-network/6.1_vpc_network).

* In the fourth stage, namely Authentication, there are two authentication methods that can be used to enter the VM. The authentication methods that can be used are SSH Keys and Passwords.

  * **Password**, enter the default password for the authentication method.

  * **SSH Keys**, more secure than standard passwords. To be able to use authentication you must first create an SSH Key before you can use this method. For further explanation of the steps for creating an SSH key, see this chapter in sub-chapter 2.6 Create SSH Key for Auth Method. Following are the steps to add an SSH key:

    * Select SSH Keys for the authentication method, then click New SSH Key.
