5. Once you click the 'Continue' button, you need to provide the instance name and select the resource group. Please refer to the snippet below for your reference.
6. Provide the SSH key from where you want to access the SWIFT instance. Then, select the VPC and click on 'Create a virtual server' as shown in the snippet below.
7. The instance will now be created. However, if you do not see a 'Floating IP' assigned, click on 'Assign Floating IP' and allocate one accordingly.

b. Once you click on 'Reserve', you will be prompted to provide the 'Floating IP name', select the resource group, and choose the instance to which you want to assign the IP. Then, click on 'Reserve'. Please refer to the snippet below.
c. You will get a floating IP.
8. You can now see the floating IP of the instance. Use this IP address along with the private key of the specified SSH key to access the instance.
a. ssh -i /tmp/swift-ssh-key-new_rsa.prv
b. You can check correct SWIFT version and license with below commands.
sc swift show
sc st sh , (The license will be displayed according to the selected template.)
9. Set up the password of your choice for admin user with below command and access the SWIFT dashboard.
