Step 5: on the bottom of the Create Compute Instance window create a new SSH key-pair or upload the public SSH key of an existing key-pair that you will use to access your instance. If you create a new key-pair, you must download the private key and store it in a save place for later use. You can also download the public key.
Step 6: optionally define non-default parameters (including the size) for the boot volume.
The boot volume section allows you to configure the boot volume of your instance with additional non-default parameters. For example, you can configure disk encryption parameters and a non-default system disk size (recommended minimum system disk size: 30GB).

Step 7 (supported starting with Charon-SSP marketplace images version 4.2.2 and VE license server 1.0.33): support an IMDSv2 authorization header for applications relying on the IMDS service to improve security. For this, open the additional options by clicking on Show Advanced Options at the bottom of the instance creation page, select the Management tab, and activate the authorization header, as shown below:
On existing instances, this parameter can be changed, by editing the instance metadata service settings for the instance (go to Instance Details and click on Edit in the line Instance Metadata Service).
Only change the configuration to IMDSv2 if the image you launched the instance from supports it. Otherwise, you may not be able to connect to your instance. At Please note: at the time of writing, the official CentOS 7 image on OCI did not support the new feature. Step 7If you create an instance to be used as a host for a manual VE license server or Charon-SSP VE installation, verify the capabilities of the image used before you enable the new IMDSv2 feature.
Step 8 (only for Charon-SSP versions before 4.1.32): the correct networking type selection is important. Charon-SSP disables offloading parameters on the Ethernet interfaces it uses. This is required for proper functionality and good performance of the emulator. To allow this configuration to be correctly reflected in the underlying cloud instance NICs for Charon-SSP versions before 4.1.32, the correct networking type (HARDWARE ASSISTED (SR-IOV) NETWORKING) must be chosen for the instance. For this, open the additional options section by clicking on Show Advanced Options at the bottom of the instance creation page and select the Networking tab as shown below:
On this tab select HARDWARE ASSISTED (SR-IOV) NETWORKING (after creation, the instance will display the NIC Attachment Type ). Please observe the warning displayed: not all shapes support this type properly.
Step 8: Click on Create to create your instance.
Step 89: verify that your instance is running.
Your instance should now be visible in the list of compute instances.
