SSH Keys: Because Linux operating systems use SSH keys for authentication, you must provide a public key. Click “Choose SSH key file” and provide a public SSH key.
Then click on the “create” button:
While the server is being provisioned, the status displayed will be “Provisioning”:
Once the process is finished, the status is changed to “RUNNING”:
An interesting fact is that from this moment it is already possible to make ssh connection with the created server:
