# Provisioning a Workload

At this point, the cluster is ready for workloads to be provisioned to it. The system default Ubuntu Instance Type contains a compatible Layout for HVM deployment. Add an Instance from the Instances list page (Provisioning > Instances). After selecting the Instance Type, choose a Group that allows for selection of the HPE Morpheus Enterprise-type Cloud containing the HVM cluster.

After moving to the next tab, select a Plan based on resource needs. From the **RESOURCE POOL** field, select the desired HVM cluster. When configuring **VOLUMES** for the new workload, note that space can be claimed from the Ceph volume. Within **NETWORKS**, we can add the new workload to one of the **VLANS** set up as part of cluster creation. Finally, note that we can choose the HOST the workload should run on.

TIP

The VOLUMES configuration within the provisioning wizard includes a flyout menu allowing storage type (standard, thin, thick (lazy zero), and thick (eager) and storage profile (cache: none or cache: directsync) configurations to be set on each individual volume.

Review and complete the provisioning wizard. After a short time, the workload should be up and running. With a workload now running on the cluster, we can take a look at some of the monitoring, migration, failover, and other actions we can take for workloads running on HVM clusters.
