Quick Deploy vs Advanced Deploy

Overview​

The Cloud Management Portal provides two deployment methods for launching virtual machines (VMs): Quick Deploy and Advanced Deploy. Each method caters to different user needs, balancing ease of use with advanced customization options.

Quick Deploy​

The Quick Deploy option is designed for users who need to create a VM quickly with minimal configuration. It streamlines the deployment process, making it ideal for standard use cases where advanced network and storage configurations are not required.

Key Features of Quick Deploy:

  • Simple and fast VM creation process.

  • Automatically assigns the default network settings.

  • No option to create a new network during deployment.

  • No ability to add additional block storage.

Advanced Deploy​

The Advanced Deploy option is tailored for users who require greater control over VM configuration. It provides extensive options for network setup, storage allocation, and other advanced settings.

Key Features of Advanced Deploy:

  • Allows manual network configuration, including the option to create a new network.

  • Provides the ability to attach additional block storage during VM creation.

  • Suitable for complex infrastructure setups requiring public IP allocation and custom network settings.

Choosing the Right Deployment Method​

  • Use Quick Deploy if you need a VM up and running in just a few steps without complex configurations.

  • Use Advanced Deploy if you require a customized networking setup or additional storage options during deployment.

By selecting the appropriate deployment method, users can optimize their cloud environment based on their operational requirements.
