    2. Select the PostgreSQL (Ephemeral) template application and click Create Service Instance.

    3. Review the default selections and set any other required fields, and click Create.

    4. Go to Catalog → Provisioned Services and verify that the postgresql-ephemeral service instance is created and has a status of Ready.

      You can check the progress on the Home → Events page. After a few moments, you should see an event for postgresql-ephemeral with the message "The instance was provisioned successfully".
