The booster tests the prerequisites for our service and your credentials. After the green boxes show that you passes the test successfully you can click on next.

On the last page of the booster you see a summary for review. After the review click on Finish.


The booster starts the deployment which can take up to five minutes as we are doing a lot of work for you in the background to get the service ready.


After everything is done you the pop-up with the success message and you can navigate to the sub-account.


In the sub-.account click on Instances and Subscriptions in the menu.
