In the SAP Business One system, besides the SAP Business One ECS, you need to create the following ECSs:

NAT server: allows you to access SAP Business One nodes using Secure Shell (SSH).
SAP HANA Studio ECS: You can use the RDP or SSH to access the SAP HANA Studio ECS.
SAP Business One Client: is used to install the SAP Business One (SAP HANA version) Client.

In the navigation plane on the left, click and choose Computing > Elastic Cloud Server.
On the right side of the page, click Buy ECS.
Create an ECS as prompted. For details, see section Node Planning.

Note the following:
- EIP: The SAP Business One Client ECS is not bound with an EIP, but the NAT server and SAP HANA Studio ECS need to be bound with an EIP.
- Login Mode: Select Key pair. Ensure that all nodes in the SAP system use the same key. Otherwise, the SAP software installation will fail.
- Cloud Server Backup Service: Select Enable auto backup.
Click Next and complete the payment as prompted.
On the displayed Elastic Cloud Server page, check the status of the created task in Task Status on the right of the page.
Create other ECSs as required.
Change the password of user root for logging in to all ECSs.
Securely keep the root password. In addition, ensure that the passwords of user root for logging in to all servers in SAP Business One system are the same.
1. Log in to an ECS.
2. Run the following command to switch to user root:
  sudo su -
3. Run the following command to change the password of user root:
  passwd
  
  Enter the new password as prompted and confirm it.
