Create service or application instance

Follow these instructions to create a service or application instance.

1. In the navigation rail, select Account. Then select Services & applications.

2. Select a folder.

   If no folder exists, you must Create folders.

3. Select Create instance.

4. Confirm your folder selection and select Next.

   You can select a different folder if necessary.

5. Select a service, then select Next.

6. The Create new service instance dialog indicates that additional set up of the service is needed. Select Continue.

7. Enter initial setup information for the service instance. Complete the settings:

   • Name: Human-readable name of the service instance.

   • Geography: Location where the service instance is deployed.

     Note: Geographies available for deployment may be limited by Manage geographies settings.

8. (Conditional) If the service or application requires dependencies, add them.

   • If the service requires a Streams Store instance, select the instance that contains the relevant data from Add Streams Store dependency. New service instances must be geographically co-located with their dependency. Therefore, the Streams Store instances available for selection are filtered based on the selected geography.

   • If the service requires a Types Store instance, select the instance that contains the relevant data from Add Types Store dependency.

   • If the service requires an Entities Store instance, select the instance that contains the relevant data from Add Entities Store dependency.

   • Type in or select an optional connection in the desired box.

9. Select Create <service/application>.

   The service instance begins deploying and you are redirected to the Service & applications page. Monitor the deployment by watching the Deployment status for the instance. When the status changes to Active, you can use the service.
