    - **Medium**: {cpu: 2, memory: 16, diskSize: 500 }
    - **Large**: {cpu: 4, memory: 32, diskSize: 1000 }
    - Or choose a **Custom** plan

   - `Public IPv4` flag gives the virtual machine a Public IPv4
- Enable the `Dedicated` flag to retrieve only dedicated nodes 
- Enable the `Certified` flag to retrieve only certified nodes 
- Choose the location of the node
   - `Region`
   - `Country`
   - `Farm Name`
- Choose the node to deploy on
> Or you can select a specific node with manual selection.

- To create a new user, set your 3Bot ID as the username with its corresponding email address, and set **Groups** as **admin**. Then click **Create**.
- You can now log out and connect to your ownCloud instance with the TF Connect app.
