# Create New Pod

{% hint style="success" %}
There are several important notes when the project type used is **Prepaid (SME–Shared)**:

1. The Prepaid VCluster for SME must be in **Available** status before it can be used; if it is still **Unavailable**, users will not be able to access the cluster resources.
2. When the status is Available, the system will display the **Create Cluster** button as the initial step before accessing the Workloads menu.
3. The **Workloads** menu becomes active only after the cluster has been successfully created; before that, the page will only show information indicating that no cluster is available.
4. The **Create Pods** button will appear and can be used after the SME Prepaid cluster has been created and its status is active.
   {% endhint %}

The Create New Pods is a feature used to create new pods in the Deka GPU Service Portal . On the Pods tab of the Workloads page, click the “+Create Pods” button.

A Create Pods window will appear, displaying the YAML configuration code to create a new Pod. In the code, you can customize the “Name” and “Namespace” fields. Click the Submit button to process the creation of the new pod.
