Setting Up a Zenko Orbit Sandbox Instance

A good way to learn how to use Orbit is through the sandbox feature available at https://www.zenko.io/ under “Try Zenko”.

Prerequisites

• A web-connected browser
• One or more cloud storage targets (AWS, RING, GCP, Azure, etc.)

The Sandbox is a great place to learn how Orbit will help you manage your data. To set up a Sandbox instance:

1. Open https://Zenko.io, and click Try Zenko

   

2. The Welcome dialog displays:

   

   Click Install now.

3. The REGISTER AN INSTANCE screen displays:

   

   Choose the Sandbox option (Next: Let’s do this!)

4. The LAST STEP: CREATE YOUR ZENKO SANDBOX screen displays:

   

   Enter a name for your sandbox and click Create Sandbox.

5. After less than a minute, the Settings window displays:

   

   You’ve created your sandbox!

   The sandbox runs against a Zenko instance hosted by Scality. This is a demonstration instance, limited both in its lifespan and in the amount of data it can handle. Nonetheless, you can use it to watch Zenko in action.
