A form is displayed where you define your virtual machine. If you have a plan for the exact specifications your VM needs through your pre-planning, feel free to use those specifications. Otherwise, you can follow along with this example for a fairly generic easy to use Linux VM. | A form is displayed where you define your virtual machine.

#*''Allocating an Available Image'': The list at the bottom of the window shows the '''available''' images your VM can boot. For a beginner on Linux we recommend the most recent '''Ubuntu''' image, but if you prefer one of the other Linux operating systems choose that. To select an image click the upwards pointing arrow on the far right of the row containing your desired image. That row should now show up in the '''Allocated''' list above. '''It is important for later to remember which image you chose''' (ex. ubuntu, fedora, etc.)[[File:Flavor tab.png|500px|thumb]] <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> | #*''Allocating an Available Image'': The list at the bottom of the window shows the '''available''' images your VM can boot.

#*''Allocating an Available Flavor'': The flavor determines what type of hardware is used for your VM, which determines how much memory and processing capabilities it has. The '''Available''' list shows all the flavors available for your chosen boot image. Click the arrow on the far left of a row to see how that particular flavor matches up with what you have been allocated for your project. If there is an alert icon on one of the specifications, that means that your project doesn't have enough of that resource to support that flavor. Choose a flavor that your project can support (has no alerts), and click the upwards arrow on the far right of that row. That flavor should now show up in the '''Allocated''' list. For more details, see [[Virtual machine flavors]]. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> | #*''Allocating an Available Flavor'': The flavor determines what type of hardware is used for your VM, which determines how much memory and processing capabilities it has.

The ''Instances'' list will be displayed and the ''Task'' field will show the current task for the VM; it will likely be '''spawning''' initially. Once the VM has spawned it will have the '''Power State''' of '''Running'''. It may take a few minutes for your virtual machine to show the '''Running''' state. | ||
