Step 4: Create an EC2 Host

Create an EC2 Host in DuploCloud

Before you create your application and service using native Docker, create an EC2 Host for storage in DuploCloud.

Estimated time to complete Step 4: 5 minutes.

Prerequisites

Before creating a Host (essentially a Virtual Machine), verify that you completed the tasks in the previous tutorial steps. Using the DuploCloud Portal, confirm that:

• An Infrastructure and Plan exist, both named NONPROD.

• A Tenant named dev01 has been created.

Creating a Host

1. In the Tenant list box, select dev01.

2. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to Cloud Services -> Hosts. The Hosts page displays.

3. In the EC2 tab, click Add. The Add Host page displays.

4. In the Friendly Name field, enter host01.

5. From the Instance Type list box, select 2 CPU 4 GB - t3a.medium.

6. Select the Advanced Options checkbox to display advanced configuration fields.

7. From the Agent Platform list box, select Linux/Docker Native.

8. From the Image ID list box, select any Docker-Duplo or Ubuntu image.

9. Click Add. The Host is created, initialized, and started. In a few minutes, when the Status displays Running, the Host is available for use.
