Purchasing an ECS in Custom Config Mode

Updated on 2025-01-21 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) is a cloud server that provides scalable, on-demand computing resources, including vCPUs, memory, OS, and Elastic Volume Service (EVS) disks. After creating an ECS, you can use it like using your local computer or physical server.

You can create an ECS by specifying its vCPUs, memory, OS, specifications, and login mode.

This section describes how to purchase an ECS on the management console.

Procedure

Step

Description

Preparations

  • Sign up for a HUAWEI ID, enable Huawei Cloud services, and top up your account.
  • Prepare resources, such as VPCs, subnets, security groups, key pairs, Dedicated Computing Cluster (DCC), and CloudPond.

Step 1: Access the Page for Purchasing ECSs

Log in to the ECS console and open the page for purchasing ECSs.

Step 2: Specify Parameters

Specify parameters based on your service requirements.

Step 3: Confirm the Configuration and Purchase an ECS

Confirm the configuration details and complete the purchase.

Preparations

  1. Sign up for a HUAWEI ID and complete real-name authentication.

    Before purchasing an ECS, sign up for a HUAWEI ID and enable Huawei Cloud services and complete real-name authentication first.

    If you have enabled Huawei Cloud services and completed real-name authentication, skip this step.

  2. Top up your account.

    Ensure that your account has sufficient balance. If not, top up your account.

  3. Plan network resources, such as VPCs and subnets.

    When you are purchasing an ECS, the system creates a default VPC (vpc-default) and subnet (subnet-default).

    If you do not want to use the default VPC and subnet, you can create a VPC and subnet in the corresponding region in advance. For details, see VPC and Subnet Planning.

  4. Create a security group and add rules to it.

    When you are purchasing an ECS, the system creates default security groups (default, Sys-WebServer, and Sys-FullAccess). For more information about security groups and rules, see Default Security Groups and Rules.

    If the default security groups and rules cannot meet your service requirements, you can modify them. For details, see Configuring Security Group Rules.

  5. Create a key pair.

    To log in to the ECS using a key pair, create one in advance. For details, see (Recommended) Creating a Key Pair on the Management Console.

  6. Create dedicated physical resources.

    To make your ECSs run on isolated physical hardware, apply for a Dedicated Computing Cluster (DCC) before creating the ECS.

    For details, see Applying for a DCC.

  7. Register an edge site.

    To create ECSs for CloudPond sites, register an edge site in advance.

    For details, see Registering an Edge Site.

Step 1: Access the Page for Purchasing ECSs

Log in to the management console and access the ECS console.

Step 2: Specify Parameters

Specify parameters required for purchasing ECSs.

Step 3: Confirm the Configuration and Purchase an ECS

  1. In the Configuration Summary panel on the right side, confirm the ECS details.

    Mandatory fields that are not configured are displayed in red. You need to set them in the parameter configuration area.

  2. (Optional) Click Save as Launch Template.

    Perform this step only when you need to create an ECS using a launch template. For details, see Purchasing ECSs Using Auto Launch Groups.

    The configuration cannot be saved as a launch template if the billing mode is yearly/monthly or spot block, host security is enabled, or the login mode is password.

  3. Read and select the agreement, and click Submit.

    After the ECS is created, it will be started by default.
