While AWS, Azure and GCP offer individually priced compute resources presenting an overwhelming number of options, Vultr offers flat bundled cpu, ram, disk, ip, egress pricing. Due to their simpler deployment options this guide has images of each interface choice needed to render this orange juice Diffuse Logic scene file. This is a speedrun guide with more rendering and less talking compared to my step by step guides. ![](https://bella.notebook.oomer.org/content/images/2022/12/image-52.png) New users get a $250 credit https://www.vultr.com/coupons/ Enough to render this scene 2500 times **Summary** *You need* \- a web browser \- a credit card \- under 10 minutes before Bella starts path tracing \- 30 minutes to view the final path traced image. *You don't need* \- any linux experience, just copy and paste *Optional needs* \- remember to **destroy** your vm to avoid by-the-hour charges \- protect your Vultr login or somebody could launch expensive vm's \- once your free credits expire, top up your account with $10-$20 to cover current charges since an account with a negative balance will get your credit card CHARGED on your billing date, ahead of actual usage BASED on your current usage extrapolated for the ENTIRE month. In summary DON'T have a negative balance on billing day. ## 0:00 Vultr Setup Register and attach your credit card [https://www.vultr.com/promo/try250/](https://www.vultr.com/promo/try250/?ref=bella.notebook.oomer.org) ### Security Setup the firewall [https://my.vultr.com/firewall/](https://my.vultr.com/firewall/?ref=bella.notebook.oomer.org) Choose + and Add Firewall Group Give the group a name Under Inbound IPv4 Rules, choose ***My IP*** as the ***Source*** allowing inbound connections ONLY from your internet router.
