+This is a Developer Preview feature only. Developer Preview features are not supported by Red Hat in any way and are not functionally complete or production-ready. Do not use Developer Preview features for production or business-critical workloads. Developer Preview features provide early access to upcoming product features in advance of their possible inclusion in a Red Hat product offering, enabling customers to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. These features might not have any documentation, are subject to change or removal at any time, and testing is limited. Red Hat might provide ways to submit feedback on Developer Preview features without an associated SLA.

+You can use common instance types to install and edit customized instance types and preferences to create a virtual machine (VM).
+
+.Procedure
+

+
++
+* Click *Virtualization* -> *Catalog* -> *InstanceTypes*.
+* Click *Virtualization* -> *VirtualMachines* and select *From volume* in the *Create* dropdown menu. 
+
+. Select a volume to boot from.
+
+. Select an 'InstanceType'. 
+
+. Select the 'InstanceType' size based on the VM's available CPUs and memory.
+
+. Optional: Edit the 'VirtualMachine' details. You can edit the SSH key during this step under *Advanced settings*.
+
+. Optional: Uncheck *Start this VirtualMachine after creation* to prevent the VM from starting automatically. By default, this box is checked and the VM will start after creation.
+
+. Click *Create VirtualMachine*.
+
+After the VM is created, you can monitor the status on the *VirtualMachine details* page.
