Creation Wizards

Creating cloud infrastructure involves many decisions — which location, which image, how many CPUs, what network topology, and more. The Pilvio.pro portal uses creation wizards to turn this complexity into a simple, guided sequence of choices. Each wizard breaks a complex task into clear steps, so you always know exactly what you are configuring and why.

Design Principles

  • One decision at a time. Each step focuses on a single aspect of the resource. This makes configuration easier to review before committing.
  • Safe to explore. Nothing is created until the final step. You can open a wizard, explore the options, and close it without any side effects.
  • Live feedback. As you change selections, the portal can show an updated price estimate so you can make informed trade-offs — for example the Configuration cost widget in the virtual machine wizard, or the unit prices listed next to each location when you create a cloudspace.
  • Guided defaults. Sensible defaults are pre-selected so you can complete most wizards with minimal input.

Example: Creating a Cloudspace

  1. Select location — select the physical data centre. Pricing and available features differ by location.
  2. Select type — decide whether the cloudspace is connected to an external network (the step title then becomes Connect to an external network) or Not connected. Choose the virtual firewall type.
  3. Add configuration details — the Name and Subnet (the private IP range for VMs inside it), plus Subdomain (optional), Available top level domains and Local domain. Private cloudspaces only show Name, Subnet and Local domain.
  4. Click Create Cloudspace.

Creation runs as a background task with a progress toast, and you are redirected to the cloudspace details page once it completes, which can take a while.

The virtual machine wizard has seven steps when creating from an image (source, image, compute size, storage, user data, security and configuration details). Its final buttons are CREATE, CREATE BATCH and CANCEL.

Cancelling a Wizard

You can close a wizard at any point by clicking Cancel, navigating away, or pressing Escape. No resource is created until you confirm on the final step, and cancelling never incurs charges.
