Next, you'll configure the infrastructure. This process looks slightly different for each cloud service provider; please see Configuring Base Infrastructure for more information .

After configuring your infrastructure, click Update Infrastructure Configuration. You'll see the automated message Infrastructure updated.

Click Deploy Infrastructure. The Provisioning Log will display the progress of the provisioning and deployment process, which takes up to five minutes.

If you click the Infrastructure tab, your new infrastructure configuration will be listed there.

About Regions

Currently, you can only configure one infrastructure per Region, regardless of which CSP you're using. If you'd like to add a second infrastructure with the same CSP in a different Region, you'll need to deploy another infrastructure.
