- Log in to the management console.
- Under Computing, click Bare Metal Server.
The BMS console is displayed.
- - Click Allocate BMS.
- Select a region.
BMSs in different regions cannot communicate with each other over an intranet. You are advised to select the region closest to your services to lower the network delay and improve the access speed. Note that after a BMS is created, its region cannot be changed.

- Select an AZ.
An AZ is a physical region where resources use independent power supply and networks. AZs are physically isolated but interconnected through an internal network.
- It is recommended that you create BMSs in different AZs to ensure high availability of applications running on the BMSs.
- To lower the network delay, create BMSs in the same AZ.
- Select a flavor.
Flavor contains the CPU, memory, local disks, and extended configuration of the BMS. After you select a flavor, the name and use scenarios of the flavor are displayed under the flavor list.
-Extended Configuration provides the NIC information of the selected flavor. For example, 2 x 2*10GE indicates that the BMS has two 10GE NICs, each with two ports. One NIC is used for the BMS to connect to a VPC and the other is used for the BMS to communicate with other BMSs in a high-speed network.
