Add VM as a User Node on DigitalOcean
Before adding a new hardware node to your platform installation on the DigitalOcean, you need to prepare an appropriate VM.
1. Access your DO dashboard and click Create > Droplets at the top panel.
2. In the opened Create Droplets page, select the CentOS OS image and choose the 7 x64 version from the drop-down menu below.
3. Next, choose a VM with at least 4 GB RAM and 2 vCPUs.
4. Finalize the configuration by selecting the VM location at the required Region and Datacenter.
Optionally, attach an SSH Key for remote connection.
Lastly, choose a hostname for your VM.
Click Create at the bottom.
5. Log into the Cluster Admin Panel and navigate to the Hardware Nodes section.
Click the Add button in the tools panel.
6. Within the opened frame, copy the command for a new hardware node addition.
7. Connect via SSH to the DigitalOcean server and run the hardware node addition command from the previous step.
Wait for the node to be included automatically in the PaaS cluster with all required interconnections.
