1. Get an SSH key pair to connect to a virtual machine (VM).
2. Create a VM from a public image. Under Image/boot disk selection, go to the Cloud Marketplace tab and select Yandex Cloud Toolbox. Under Access:
   • Enter the username in the Login field.
   • Paste the contents of the public key file in the SSH key field.
3. Connect to the VM via SSH. To do this, use the username you set when creating the VM and the private SSH key you created earlier.
4. Configure a working environment. Execute the following command in the terminal window:

   /usr/local/etc/setup.sh
   

   The setup.sh script will configure a working environment for kubectl, Docker, YC CLI, and Terraform and change Bash Command Prompt. If a service account has been specified in the VM settings, the YC CLI default profile will be created automatically. All operations in this profile will be performed on behalf of the service account specified in the VM settings. You can change the profile parameters or create a new profile. If the service account is not specified in the VM settings, you must authenticate in the YC CLI yourself.

• Administering Yandex Cloud resources.
• Development and testing web services.
• Prototyping new service components.
