Clone

Click Action > Clone to create a new instance based on the configuration of the current instance. To adjust the configuration, click the pencil icon.

As each instance requires a unique password, scroll down to Account setting to set a new password for the instance. After reviewing all the information, click Start.

If you do not manually set the instance name in Configuration, the system will generate a name using the following format: the first four characters of the original instance's name, an underscore (_), the letter "C" (indicating "Clone"), and a random number for distinction. For example, a clone of "My 1st Instance" could be named "My 1_C031562".

Terminate

Warning: To terminate an instance means to delete the instance and all data contained completely, which is irrevocable and unrecoverable.

Click Action > Terminate, enter the instance name and click Terminate.
