Now let us provision server for our Big Data Cluster.
- Go to Instance Templates
- Click on more options and then choose Create VM
- Name: bigdataserver-1
- Click on Create
Once the server is provisioned, we need to add additional disks for storage.
- Click on bigdataserver-1
- Click on Edit
- Click on Add Item under Additional disks
- Click on Create Disk
- Name: bigdataserver-1-disk-1
- Choose Blank Disk from Source type
- Size: 60 (GB)
- Click on Create
- Now Click on Save under Edit page.
Repeat these steps 7 more times, so that we have 8 Servers with 8 external hard drives of size 60 GB each.
