If you have made it this far, you have a fully functional WordPress blog configuration up and running in the Cloud. Congratulations! From this point forward we will begin preparing the site for additional traffic and scale. The walkthrough gets a bit more complex at this point but don't worry we are still in this together.

Buckle up, moving forward we will setup redundancy and scalability into your cloud solution.

Create an Image

We're going to take a snapshot of the servers current state, and save that snapshot as an "image" in your control panel.

Log into the control panel

Click "Servers" within the product navigation bar at the top.

Click the Actions cog of the Master Server and click "Create Image".

Provide your Image a Name, "WPBaseImage".

Click "Create Image".

With your image created you are ready to create a clone of the server.
