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
1
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.
2
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.
3
Define access
Attach the right SSH key pair, decide whether the instance needs a public entry point, and keep private workloads private by default.
4
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.
5
Review security before launch
Confirm VPC placement, subnet choice, traffic rules, and backup expectations before the server is created.
