Spinning up a virtual machine

To create a VM, open /cloud, stay on the VMs tab, and tap "+ Spin up VM".

Fill in the form:
• Name — lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes (2–63 characters). This becomes the machine's name on its host, so keep it tidy (e.g. web-01).
• Host — pick a specific hypervisor, or leave it on "Auto (best fit)" to let the scheduler choose. With Auto selected you'll see a live line showing where it would land and why.
• Role — server, workstation, or edge. This sets the TurtiniOS role the VM boots into.
• vCPUs — 1 to 64 virtual CPUs.
• Memory — in megabytes (256 minimum).
• Disk — in gigabytes.
• Image — the TurtiniOS image tag to boot from (e.g. stable).

Tap "Spin up." The VM appears immediately in the list as "pending," then "provisioning" while its host materializes the disk, then "running" once it boots. Fresh VMs boot from a copy-on-write copy of the base image, so the first boot is fast.

If you see "No host has capacity for this size," either no hypervisor has enough free CPU/memory for what you asked for, or no hosts have been advertised yet. Lower the resources, add a host, or check the Hosts tab.
