Cloud Server

Cloud Server (Elastic Compute Service, ECS) is a simple, efficient, secure, and reliable computing service with elastic scalability.

Cloud server management is simpler and more efficient than physical servers. We do not need to pre-purchase expensive hardware to quickly create or delete cloud servers. Cloud server costs typically range from tens to hundreds, and can be configured according to our needs.

There are many cloud servers on the market currently, with a few main ones introduced here:

Using Tencent Cloud Server

This section uses Tencent Cloud Server as an example.

2. Log in to the Tencent Cloud console to view the purchased server:

3. Before using the Tencent Cloud Server, we need to create an SSH key first. Click on the SSH Key on the left (logging in with a key is more secure than a password):

Enter the key name, then click OK, and a key will be automatically generated. The key will be automatically downloaded to your local machine. Please keep the downloaded key; the key file name is the key name you entered.

4. Next, select the created key and click the Bind/Unbind Instance button. A pop-up will show our ECS server, which can be bound to this key:

5. Return to the instance list, click the Login button on the right of the instance, and click login immediately in the pop-up. This will open a new browser window. We choose key login, and the key file is the one created in the third step:

Of course, you can choose to log in using a third-party client (such as: SecureCRT), with the username ubuntu. Other systems may vary slightly, and then import the corresponding key.
