Creating a Windows Server Virtual Machine in Virtual Data Center

A Windows Virtual Machine is a Windows Server operating system running within a virtualized environment. Cloudmatika’s Virtual Data Center (VDC) provides both Windows and Linux virtual machines to simplify and enhance the management of your business infrastructure.

If you would like to learn more about or subscribe to Cloudmatika’s Virtual Data Center service, please visit our website.

Prerequisites

Before creating a Windows Virtual Machine, ensure that:

  • You have an active Cloudmatika account.
  • You have subscribed to the Virtual Data Center (VDC) service.

Creating a Windows Virtual Machine

Follow the steps below to create a Windows Virtual Machine in Cloud VDC:

  1. Visit the Cloudmatika website at https://cloudmatika.co.id.
  2. Click Login in the top-right corner of the page.
  3. Enter your username and password.
  4. After logging in, ensure that your active subscription is set to CloudServer VDC.
  5. Click the Cloud menu and then select New Server.

Configuring Your Virtual Machine

On the New Server page, you can define the hardware specifications and operating system settings for your Windows Virtual Machine.

Configuration Parameters

Parameter

Description

Server Name

The name assigned to the server. The server name must be unique and cannot duplicate an existing server name. It may contain letters, numbers, and hyphens, with a maximum length of 63 characters.

Description

A description of the server.

Backup Schedule

The schedule used for automatic server backups.

Specify Custom Hostname

Allows you to define a custom hostname. You may use a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), such as server1.cloudmatika.com, or simply a hostname such as server1. If left blank, the Server Name will be used as the hostname.

Preset Configurations

Predefined server configurations based on common use cases, including CPU cores, CPU frequency, disk space, and other resources.

CPU Cores

The number of CPU cores allocated to the server.

CPU Frequency

The processing power allocated to the server.

Disk Space

The amount of storage space allocated to the server, measured in gigabytes (GB).

RAM

The amount of memory allocated to the server.

I Will Manage the OS Kernel

Select this option to create a Virtual Machine. Leave it unchecked to create a container.

Operating System

The operating system to be installed on the server.

Register in Domain

The domain where the server will be registered. This option is available if you have configured DNS services.

Bandwidth

The maximum bandwidth allocation in Mbps.

Number of IPv4 Addresses

The number of public IPv4 addresses assigned to the server.

Allow to Configure the Network Settings from Within the Server

Allows you to configure network settings from inside the server, except for IP addresses. If not selected, network settings will be configured automatically by the Cloud Infrastructure platform.

Estimated Monthly Price

The estimated monthly cost based on the selected configuration.

Hostname Notes

  • To make the server accessible from external networks, you must select a domain in the Register in Domain field.
  • If no domain is selected, only servers within the same subnet can access the server using its hostname.
  • Hostnames may contain letters, numbers, hyphens, and periods, with a maximum length of 63 characters.
  • If no hostname is specified, the Server Name will be used automatically.

Network Notes

All servers are automatically assigned a private IPv4 address with speeds of up to 10 Gbps.

Servers can communicate with one another using these private IP addresses. However, if a public IP address is not assigned, the server will not be accessible from the Internet.

Currently, manual network configuration is supported for:

  • Linux Virtual Machines and Containers
  • Windows Virtual Machines

Pricing Notes

The displayed monthly price is an estimate based on the selected configuration.

Please note that the displayed price does not include discounts or dynamic resource usage generated through Business Automation features such as automatic scaling (Scale Up / Scale Down). Therefore, the final billed amount may differ from the estimated price.

Selecting an Operating System

After configuring your server specifications, click Next to proceed to the operating system selection page.

The following Windows operating systems are available:

  • Win2012r2-std-cloudvps
  • Win2012r2-std-cloudvps-fx
  • Win2008r2-std
  • Win2016-std
  • Win2012-std
  • Win2008r2-std-cloudvps
  • Win2012r2-std

For example, you may choose Win2008r2-std and select English as the system language.

Deploying the Virtual Machine

After selecting the operating system, click Next.

Wait until the virtual machine creation process is completed and the server status changes to Running.

Accessing Your Windows Virtual Machine

Once the deployment process has finished, you will receive an email containing the following information:

  • IP Address
  • Username
  • Password

You can use these credentials to connect to your Windows Virtual Machine through Remote Desktop Connection (RDP).
