Introduction

Deploying database instances efficiently is a key requirement for modern applications. This guide explains how and where NovaCloud users can quickly provision MongoDB or a MongoDB Cluster directly within the Customer Portal using the pre-configured One-Click Applications feature to accelerate database deployment.

Prerequisites

• Access to the IPServerOne Customer Portal

• Sufficient Cloud Credits in account

Before diving into the launching cloud instance, you may refer to the guidance below, as there are being used across this guidance.

• To register and login into our Customer Portal
  -> [How to register and login to Customer Portal]
• To configure Security Group for the cloud instance, you may consider as the simple firewall for the cloud instance
  -> [Configure Security Group in IPServerOne Customer Portal]
• If you wish to unify the Public Key for all cloud instance, you may generate a Public Key before launching the cloud instance
  -> [How to Create Public Key for the Cloud Server in Customer Portal]
• If you have existing Public Key, you may consider import the Public Key
  -> [How to Import Public Key(s) for the Cloud Server in Customer Portal]
• To create a Project for your cloud instance for easier managing, and you are having an option to assign the Project later
  -> [How to Create Project(s) in Customer Portal]
  -> [How to assign instance(s) to a project group in Customer Portal]
• To login the cloud instance via SSH

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Launching new cloud instance

• Locate and click on the NovaCloud in the left-hand navigation menu to access NovaCloud resources page

• Click on Cloud Instances to navigate to the cloud instance management page

• Initiate the process for deploying a new cloud instance by clicking the Launch Instance

• Select Create Instance from One-Click Application for provisioning instances pre-installed with your chosen application or database

Step 2: Select application for the cloud instance

L2TP/IPsec (PSK)

L2TP/IPsec (PSK) is a widely used VPN protocol combination that creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and a server. L2TP builds the tunnel, IPsec adds military-grade encryption, and the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) acts like a universal shared password that both the client and server use to establish trust.

OpenVPN

OpenVPN is a widely used, open-source protocol and software that creates secure, encrypted “tunnels” between devices and networks over the internet. It is the industry standard for protecting online privacy, bypassing censorship, and allowing remote workers to securely connect to corporate networks

Step 3: Verify launched cloud instance

• If you HAVE NOT created any Security Group, you may consider follow the selection here and our system will assist to create the Security Group for the cloud instance

• If you HAVE created Security Group, you may select and apply the Security Group to the cloud instance

• A confirmation pop-up will appear. Review the specifications, scroll to the bottom, and click Create to launch the cloud instance

• Click the Instances button in the confirmation pop-up to navigate to the list of Cloud Instances

• Your request to launch the instance has been queued, and the provisioning process is underway (status “Creating” or “Active”)

Conclusion

By following this guidance, you can successfully deploy a secure remote gateway using both standard cryptographic protocols.
