   The pricing for the same service may vary between providers and regions. The service summary on the right side of the console shows you the pricing for your selected options.

5. Next, select the service plan.

6. Enter a name for your service.

   Note

While services typically start up in a couple of minutes, the performance varies between cloud providers and regions, and it may take longer in some circumstances.
