3. Select a project from the drop-down list.
4. Select one AZ or at least three AZs.
5. Specify the Instance Name and the Enterprise Project.
6. Set the instance information. For details, see Table 1.

   Broker Flavor	Select rocketmq.4u8g.cluster.
   Brokers	Enter 1.

    • If an instance fails to be created, view it in the Instance Creation Failures area and delete it. Then create a new one. If the instance creation fails again, contact customer service.
