# How-to guides These MicroCloud how-to guides cover key operations and processes. ## Set up and deploy MicroCloud can be installed in testing or production environments and initialized interactively or through an automated process. Once deployed, the MicroCloud UI provides an interface alongside the [MicroCloud CLI](https://canonical.com/microcloud/docs/latest/reference/commands/index.html.md#ref-commands). * [Install MicroCloud](https://canonical.com/microcloud/docs/latest/how-to/install/index.html.md) * [Initialize MicroCloud](https://canonical.com/microcloud/docs/latest/how-to/initialize/index.html.md) * [Access the UI](https://canonical.com/microcloud/docs/latest/how-to/ui/index.html.md) Terraform makes it possible to automate the MicroCloud deployment process. * [Deploy a MicroCloud test environment with Terraform](https://canonical.com/microcloud/docs/latest/how-to/terraform_automation/index.html.md) ## Configure services MicroCeph and MicroOVN make it possible to configure storage and networking to meet your needs.
