Start with workload intent, not with the biggest size
Launching well on Nubis Compute means matching the server to the workload: where it should run, how it should be accessed, what data it needs, and how it should be protected on day one.Launch checklist
Select the project and region
Put the instance in the project that owns the workload and choose the region closest to users or dependent services.
Choose the image and size
Pick the operating system and instance size that match the runtime and expected load, then plan to revisit sizing after real traffic arrives.
Define access
Attach the right SSH key pair, decide whether the instance needs a public entry point, and keep private workloads private by default.
Plan storage and bootstrap
Decide whether the root disk is enough or whether the workload needs dedicated attached disks and a cloud-init bootstrap path.
