* **Deployment Mode:** Choose between a fixed number of instances or auto-scaling.
* **Compute Resources:** Adjust CPU and memory settings using the slider.
* **Network Configuration:** Enter the container port and decide whether to enable external access.
* **Startup Command:** Optionally customize the startup command and its parameters.

* **Application Name:** nginx
* **Image Name:** nginx:latest
* **Deployment Mode:** Fixed instance with 1 instance
* **Compute Resources:** 0.1 vCPU and 128 MB memory

3. **Managing Application Instances**\
   In the instance list, you will find several buttons:

   * **Logs:** View the logs for the application instance.
   * **Terminal:** Access the terminal of the application instance.
   * **Details:** View detailed startup information of the application instance.
   * **Restart:** Restart the application instance.

   If the instance fails to start (e.g., the status shows **waiting**), click the **Details** button to diagnose the issue, such as an incorrect image name.
