Creating a Cloud and Nodes

Create a Cloud via the API

Use the POST /v3/flexVM/clouds endpoint with a JSON body.

Example request:

POST /v3/flexVM/clouds
Host: api.i3d.net
PRIVATE-TOKEN: YOUR_API_KEY
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "name": "My private cloud",
  "description": "A cloud I would like to use to create VMs in.",
  "site": "frmtl1",
  "instance_type": "bm9.hmm.gpu.4rtx4000.64"
}

Response (201 Created) returns the created Cloud object.

A 409 Conflict is returned when a Cloud with the same name already exists.

Deleting a Cloud

Use the DELETE /v3/flexVM/clouds/{cloudUuid} endpoint.

Example request:

DELETE /v3/flexVM/clouds/{cloudUuid}
Host: api.i3d.net
PRIVATE-TOKEN: YOUR_API_KEY

Response (204 No Content) is returned on success.

A Cloud cannot be deleted while it still has active VMs.

Nodes

Node scaling is currently done by i3D internal teams.

Self-service Node scaling is planned on the FlexVM roadmap.
