Clone
Click Action > Clone to quickly set up another instance using the configuration of the current instance. You can change the configuration by clicking the pencil icon.

If you choose not to set the instance name manually by modifying Configuration, system will generate a name with the following naming convention: the first four characters from the existing instance's name, C (stands for "Clone"), and a random number for distinguishment. For example, the clone instance of "My 1st Instance" could be named as "My 1_C031562".
Terminate
Warning: To terminate an instance means to delete the instance and all data contained completely, which is irrevocable and unrecoverable.
