# User Guide

> Launch and manage workloads on an existing CubeCOS cluster.

Use this guide if your CubeCOS cluster is already available and you need to create or manage cloud resources. The procedures cover compute, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and guest operating systems.

## Start here {#start-here}

1. [Launch your first instance](../quick-start/launching-your-first-instance).
2. [Manage compute workloads](../compute/instances).
3. [Connect workloads to a private network](../network/private_network).
4. [Create and attach block storage](../storage/block/volume).
5. [Create a Kubernetes cluster](../k8s/create-cluster).
