Storage Profile (vcd-type-med, vcd-type-ssd, vcd-type-low) - vcd-type-med

SSH Key (if you have an SSH key, enter it for easy access to nodes)

Enable NFS - Add another worker node for NFS

RollBack - If an error occurs while creating a cluster, the cluster will not be created and will be automatically deleted.

Click Next.

Select a network with access to the Internet in which you would like to create a cluster, and then click Next.

Select a template for nod with the desired version of Docker and Kubernetes. Click Next

Check all the settings and if everything is correct, press Finish and the cluster creation process should continue. Once created, you will see the cluster
