<p>This guide assumes you already have a LoD service VM up and running. If not, please read {{#link-to'index'}}this{{/link-to}} guide on how to create a LoD service VM. You can create a Lambda Instance through the control panel of the LoD service VM. The images below will guide you step by step in the creation of your Lambda Instance.</p>
<li>Log into the LoD service VM dashboard using your ~okeanos token (you can find your ~okeanos token <ahref="https://accounts.okeanos.grnet.gr/ui/api_access">here</a>)</li>
<li>On the sidebar, select "Instances"</li>
<li>On the main window click the button "Create New Instance"</li>
<li>Fill in your new Lambda Instance details in the form provided and click "Submit" when ready (all fields marked with * are mandatory)</li>
<li>Notice the status of your new Lambda Instance while it is being deployed and configured</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>At the end your Lambda Instance will be ready to use.</strong></p>
<p>If something goes wrong you will be informed with an appropriate error message.</p>
<p>You should be able to see the new VMs that have been utilized for the Lambda on Demand Service <ahref="https://cyclades.okeanos.grnet.gr/ui/">on the Cyclades web interface on ~okeanos.</a></p>
