There are two ways of creating a virtual machine using the web interface:
  • Choosing an app: The app marketplace hosts a variety of compute templates and start-up scripts, tailored to specific workloads.
The operating system, SSH access, start-up script and virtual machine name can still be configured by the user before deploying a virtual machine from the app marketplace.
  • Creating a virtual machine from scratch: The advantage in this case is that you can define all of the properties the virtual machine will be deployed with, including machine specs, operating system, SSH access, start-up script, and virtual machine name.
For more context please see the Create a virtual machine documentation.
