1. Open the Cache Services page.
2. Click Create Service.
3. On the Service page of the Create Service wizard, complete the fields described in this table:

   Element	Description
   Service Name	Enter the cache service name. The service name must start with a letter and must contain letters and numbers only. Spaces and other special characters are not allowed.
   Service Description	(Optional) Enter a text description of the cache service.
   Metering Frequency	Hourly is the only metering frequency currently supported.
   Deployment Type	Select the deployment type: Basic — Only one container is created for the cache service. Recommended — Three or more containers are created for the cache service.
