Rebuild an IDrive^® Compute instance

The primary benefit of rebuilding an instance is that you can recreate an existing instance with the same or a new image while retaining its existing IP address thereby avoiding the hassles of upgrading your business's IP records. 

Follow these steps to rebuild an Instance,

1. Sign in to your account on IDrive® Compute.
2. Click Actions against the instance which you want to rebuild, select Rebuild.
3. Choose a standard distribution or select a custom image or application stack image from the Images tab in the Rebuild page.
4. Select an authentication method for the instance. You can either set an SSH key or a root password for authentication.
   SSH-Keys - Select SSH Keys from the list of pre-added keys. To add a new key, click Add an SSH Key. Enter the key name and your existing SSH Public Key details, click Add Key.
   Password - A root password will be suggested by default. You may use the same password or create a new password.
5. Enter User Data in cloud-config format. This is optional.
6. Click Rebuild.
   Alternatively, click the instance you want to rebuild and select Rebuild from the LHS menu.
   
   
   
   

   Note: Rebuilding will destroy all the data stored on the disk drive of the instance. This operation is irreversible.
