Rodeo New Project Setup
There are a few one-time things that new projects will need to do in order to be able to launch instances on Rodeo.
Create Private Network
For new projects, instances cannot be created until a private network and router have been created. This is a one-time operation that should be done by the first person in the project to use Rodeo.
