 - When creating a Zone File for a Domain, the [Linode API v4](/docs/api) checks for any errors that may exist. If an error is found, the Cloud Manager will respond with the corresponding error. This means that the Cloud Manager will not allow you to create an invalid zone file.

 Compute Instances are virtual machines that run on Linode's secure and reliable cloud infrastructure. To support a variety of workloads, Compute Instance plans are organized under several basic plan types, each with their own set of resources, unique value propositions, and technical specifications (see [Plan Types](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/plans/)). Each Compute Instance can run a variety of [supported Linux distributions](/docs/products/compute/compute-instances/guides/distributions/), including the latest versions of Ubuntu, CentOS Stream, Debian, and more.

 Confirm the details for this Compute Instance within the *Linode Summary* section. Once you are satisfied, click **Create Linode** to start the deployment process. This process can take anywhere from 3 minutes for Distribution Images to up to 30 minutes for some Marketplace Apps. After the creation process has started, you are automatically redirected to the detail page for this instance. From here, you can follow the status as the instance is deployed as well as see information about the new instance, such as the IP addresses.
