In the initial menu of the Oracle Cloud click on “Compute” and later on “Instances”:
On the next tab, click the “Create Instance” button:
In the Create Compute Instance tab, provide the requested information:
Name: Choose a name for your instance. (In the example: VMLINUXmachine)
Select an available domain for your instance: Choose the first available domain (In the example: ysjg: PHX-AD-1)
Choose an operating system or image source: Keep the option available on Oracle.
Image Operating System: Oracle Linux 7.6
Choose instance type: Choose “Virtual Machine”
Shape: We will use the option “VM.Standard2.1”
Image Version: Please select the latest version, 2018.09.25-0 (latest)
Configure boot volume: Keep the default option.
SSH Keys: Because Linux operating systems use SSH keys for authentication, you must provide a public key. Click “Choose SSH key file” and provide a public SSH key.
Then click on the “create” button:
While the server is being provisioned, the status displayed will be “Provisioning”:
Once the process is finished, the status is changed to “RUNNING”:
An interesting fact is that from this moment it is already possible to make ssh connection with the created server:
