Launch Instance

Once your template is approved, you can launch instances from it.

Select Template

Go to Templates and find your approved template. Click on it to open the template details page.

Launch Instance

Click the Launch Instance button. The system will provision a GPU and start your container.
3

Monitor Status

Watch the instance status change from "Creating" to "Running". This typically takes 10-30 seconds depending on GPU availability.
Billing: You are charged per hour while the instance is running. Billing stops when you stop or terminate the instance.

Manage Instances

Monitor and control your running instances from the dashboard.

View Instance Status

The Dashboard shows all your instances with their current status, GPU type, uptime, and cost. Click on any instance to see detailed information.

View Logs

Click Logs in the sidebar to view container output from your instances. You can filter by instance and time range.

Stop vs Terminate

Stop: Pauses billing but preserves your data. You can restart later.
Terminate: Permanently deletes the instance and all data. This cannot be undone.
Remember: Always stop or terminate instances when you're done to avoid unexpected charges.
