Cloning a deployment script means creating a new script based on an existing one. This can be done from a script provided by the NCS system or one you have created yourself.
The Project's wallet balance must be greater than 0. If not, learn how to top up the wallet.
There must be at least one deployment script in the deployment script list.
In the sidebar menu, click COMPUTE > Deployment Scripts.
From the deployment script list, select the script you want to clone, then click the MORE > Clone button to open the clone deployment script window.
On the clone deployment script page, you can edit the details for the new script:
Name: The name of the script that will be displayed in the list and on the launch instance page.
Base image: Select the image that will be used as the base for launching the instance before the script runs.
Min disk: The minimum size of the volume required to boot this script. The default value is based on the selected base image, but it can be changed.
Script type: There are two types of scripts:
cloud-config (Learn more at https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/explanation/format.html)
x-shellscript (Learn more at https://www.shellscript.sh/)
Script: The script content, which must match the selected script type.
If the selected base image is deleted from the system, this deployment script will not appear on the launch instance page until you update the base image to one that exists in the system.
Carefully review all the details you have entered, then click the 'CONFIRM' button to create the deployment script. The newly created script will appear in the deployment script list and as a source option on the launch instance page.
