Create an optional hosted resource pool

Open the creation page

Select Resource pools in the dashboard, then Hosted options. The hosted creation page lets you review capacity and charges before purchase.

Name the pool

Enter a clear name that describes its purpose or environment. The name should help teammates make the right selection during deployment.

Choose CPU

Select the CPU option that can handle the combined work expected from applications in this pool. The dashboard shows the monthly price of each option. Storage starts at 20 GB.

Choose memory

Select memory based on the applications’ normal working set plus headroom. Memory is presented in customer-friendly units in the selector and summary.

Choose storage

Select enough storage for application needs, persistent data, and expected growth. Do not use persistent application storage as your only backup of important data.

Choose a region

Choose from the regions currently presented by the dashboard. Consider where your users are, where dependent services are, and any organizational requirements that apply to your data.

Review the estimate

Verify the pool name, CPU, memory, storage, region, and estimated monthly total. The dashboard’s current estimate is authoritative.

Create the pool

Select Create resource pool once. The dashboard returns to the pool list while provisioning continues. Watch the status until it becomes active.
