On the development instance creation page, fill in the following configuration:

After creation, go to the Development Environment page to view all created instances and their running status. You can also view them centrally under the Notebook section in Resource Management.
Notes
Note
- Development instances are billed by usage time. Stop instances when not in use to avoid unnecessary charges.
- Files in the working directory are retained after stopping an instance; data will be cleared when the instance is deleted — back up your work in advance.
