Digital Ocean Cloud : Create a Virtual Machine

Create a Ubuntu Linux machine on Digital Ocean Cloud in 10 minutes.

Digital Ocean offers Infrastructure services with simplicity at its core. Build robust applications using a comprehensive portfolio of compute, storage, database, and networking products.

We are going to do a quick walk over of the Digital Ocean Interface and we will look at all the options it has to offer with respect to working with DigitalOcean cloud.

In the last videos, we have talked about the DigitalOcean cloud and how it can be used to design a wide variety of software systems. It offers extensive infrastructure offerings and is very intuitive to use along with being developer-friendly.

And in this video, I am going to be doing a walkthrough for the creation of a Virtual Machine(droplet) and trying to access it over a console or as an ssh client.

We will also be looking at the various other options that allow monitoring and scaling of the cloud machine.

You can select the Linux OS of your choice. There’s Ubuntu, Free BSD, Fedora, Debian, etc. with multiple versions.

Then the next option you get to decide is that what sort of CPU do you want? Do you want a shared mode where it's good for small projects, but it's best to go for dedicated if you're running a production application, and then there's all sorts of use cases,

General purpose, which allows for a good balance between memory and company.

CPO optimized to have high intensive CPU cores while memory-optimized could get you up to 2 56 GB of RAM in a single machine. And I am sure they're going to add more storage.

These are good for running media servers.

Do check out the video for the step-by-step walkthrough of the process.
