​

Access Containers

There are three ways to interact with a running container: SSH (from your own terminal), Jupyter Notebook (web-based), or the built-in web shell (no local tools required).

​

Connect via SSH

1. Locate a container and click the port “22” icon in the “Ports” field

2. In the pop-up window, copy the SSH command and paste it into your terminal

​

Connect via Jupyter Notebook

1. Locate a container and click the port “8888” icon in the “Ports” field
2. A Jupyter Notebook web page will open in another browser tab

​

Open a Web Shell

Access a web-based terminal directly in your browser — no SSH client required.

1. Locate the container you want to access
2. Click the “More actions” button (three dots icon)
3. Select “Open Shell” from the dropdown menu

4. A new browser tab will open with a web-based terminal connected to your container

​

Container Status Reference

​

Lifecycle Actions

These actions change the state of a container. Open the “More actions” menu (three dots) on a container row to reach them.

​

Reconfigure

1. Locate the container you want to reconfigure and click “Reconfigure” from the dropdown menu in the “Action” field

2. Edit the settings of the original container as you wish, one by one

3. Type “RECONFIGURE” in the pop-up window to confirm the new settings and start the instance with the new settings

​

Restart

1. Locate the container you want to restart
2. Click the “More actions” button (three dots icon)
3. Select “Restart” from the dropdown menu

4. Enter the confirmation text as shown in the dialog
5. Click “Confirm” to proceed

​

Renew

The Renew feature extends the rental period of a Prepaid Plan container to keep your resources running uninterrupted.

1. Locate the container you want to renew
2. Click the “More actions” button (three dots icon)
3. Select “Renew Plan” from the dropdown menu

4. On the Renew Container page, you will see:
   • Instance Information: Container name, billing method, current end time, and new end time
   • Extension Duration: Select how long you want to extend the container

5. Click the “Select Duration” dropdown to choose your extension period. Available options include:
   • Short-term: 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks
   • Monthly: 1 month through 11 months
   • Long-term: 1 year, 3 years

6. After selecting a duration, review the updated New End Time and the Price summary
7. Click “Renew” to proceed to payment

8. Complete the payment process to finalize the renewal

​

Terminate

1. Locate the container you want to terminate
2. Click the “More actions” button (three dots icon)
3. Select “Terminate” from the dropdown menu

4. Review the dialog — if the container has an Elastic IP attached, note that the EIP will NOT be automatically released. You must manually release it from the Elastic IP console afterwards if you no longer need it
5. Type TERMINATE in the confirmation field
6. Click “Confirm” to proceed

​

Networking

Modify a running container’s networking attachments from its Detail page (click the container name in the list to open it). These changes apply immediately without restarting the container.

​

Associate EIP

Attach an Elastic IP to give the container a public IP address. Do this before associating a firewall. On its own, an EIP does not allow any traffic through — a firewall must be attached afterwards to permit inbound connections.

1. Open the container’s detail page
2. In the Networking Configurations section, click “Associate EIP”

3. In the dialog, select an Elastic IP from the Elastic IP Address dropdown (only Disassociated EIPs in the same data center as the container are listed)

4. Click “Confirm” to attach the EIP

​

Associate Firewall

Attach a firewall to a container that has an EIP but no firewall associated. Only do this after an EIP is associated.

1. Open the container’s detail page
2. Scroll to the Firewalls section and click “Associate Firewall”

3. In the dialog, select a firewall from the Firewall dropdown (only firewalls in the same data center as the container are listed)

4. Click “Confirm” to attach the firewall

​

Disassociate Firewall

Remove the firewall currently attached to the container. Do this before disassociating the EIP. Once the firewall is removed, no inbound traffic is allowed through the EIP until you associate another firewall with the appropriate rules.

1. Open the container’s detail page
2. Scroll to the Firewalls section and click “Disassociate Firewall”

3. In the confirmation dialog, type DISASSOCIATE to confirm

4. Click “Confirm” to detach the firewall

​

Disassociate EIP

Detach the Elastic IP from the container. Disassociate the firewall first before removing the EIP. The EIP returns to your account as Disassociated — you can associate it with another instance later or release it entirely (see Elastic IP).

1. Open the container’s detail page
2. In the Networking Configurations section, click “Disassociate EIP”

3. In the confirmation dialog, type DISASSOCIATE to confirm

4. Click “Confirm” to detach the EIP

​

2. Click the “View Log” icon to access the logs

​

1. Locate the container whose logs you want to download
2. Click the “More actions” button (three dots icon)
3. Select “Download Logs” from the dropdown menu to download the logs

​

View Monitoring

Monitor your container’s resource usage including GPU, CPU, and memory metrics.

1. Locate the container you want to monitor
2. Click the “More actions” button (three dots icon)
3. Select “View Monitoring” from the dropdown menu

4. The monitoring dashboard displays:
   • GPU Usage: Real-time GPU utilization percentage
   • GPU Memory Usage: GPU memory consumption
   • CPU Usage: CPU utilization percentage
   • Memory Usage: RAM consumption

​

View Order
