kraft cloud instance create

Create an instance on Unikraft Cloud from an image.

kraft cloud instance create [FLAGS] IMAGE [-- ARGS]

Examples

# Create a new NGINX instance in Frankfurt and start it immediately. Map the external
# port 443 to the internal port 8080 which the application listens on.
$ kraft cloud --metro fra0 instance create \
  --start \
  --port 443:8080 \
  nginx:latest


# This command is the same as above, however using the more elaborate port expression.
# This is because in fact we need need to accept TLS and HTTP connections and redirect
# port 8080 to port 443.  The above example exists only as a shortcut for what is written
# below:
$ kraft cloud --metro fra0 instance create \
  --start \
  --port 443:8080/http+tls \
  --port 80:443/http+redirect \
  nginx:latest


# Attach two existing volumes to the vm, one read-write at /data
# and another read-only at /config:
$ kraft cloud --metro fra0 instance create \
  --start \
  --volume my-data-vol:/data \
  --volume my-config-vol:/config:ro \
  nginx:latest
