Instance Monitor

Description
Container Monitor The instance is monitored by the {NEBULA} system. Below is a brief explanation of how to interpret the small chart icons in the List Card. From left to right, you will see three small chart icons, each representing:
  1. CPU Impact (in percent) shows the impact this instance has had on the {ANYNODE}'s CPU usage since midnight.
  2. RAM Usage (in percent)
  3. DISK Usage (in percent)
If any of the values exceed 75%, a small warning will pop up on the screen. When the value reaches 90%, a critical warning will be displayed.

Codespaces Dialog

Description
Codespaces Dialog The Codespaces dialog is used to create a Codespaces (Sky Browser) instance that connects to the code service and initiates an isolated Visual Studio Code session for the developer.
Name field Specifies the name for the instance, which can be any desired name.
Sky Node field Specifies the Sky Node where the instance will be created. This field also determines which {ANYNODE}'s code service is used.
Network field Specifies the network for the instance. You can read more about networks in the documentation: Private Network.
Boot field Specifies the operating system for the instance, which is magna-os, the only available OS for Codespaces.
Password field Specifies the root user password for the instance. This field allows the use of Secret Key Tags to obfuscate the password, ensuring enhanced security.
CPU (#) field Specifies the number of CPU cores that will be assigned to the instance.
CPU (Time) field Specifies how much time of the assigned CPU cores can be allocated. For example: If you have 1 CPU core and utilize 50% of CPU Time, that would be like assigning 1/2 (half) a CPU to the instance.
RAM (GB) field Specifies the amount of memory, in gigabytes, that will be allocated to the instance.
DISK (GB) field Specifies the amount of disk space, in gigabytes, that will be allocated to the instance.
NET (Mbps) field Specifies the network bandwidth, measured in megabits per second, that will be allocated to the instance.
VLAN field Specify the VLAN tag ID for the instance's network only if xcLAN is selected and the {ANYNODE} is connected to a network with multiple untagged VLANs, otherwise set it to 0.
GPU field Specifies whether the instance can access the GPU of the Sky Node. You can find more information about how to enable GPU here: GPU for Instances.
Show button Toggle the visibility of the password field.
Create button Save the configuration of the instance and provision it.
Cancel button Abort and close the dialog.

Codespaces Actions Menu
