Which is the simplest way to create it?
Thanks!

Ubuntu Cloud Images [...] to run on public clouds that provide Ubuntu Certified Images, Openstack, LXD, and more.
What does "Public Cloud" mean?
A form of cloud computing in which a company relies on a third-party cloud service provider for services such as servers, data storage and applications, which are delivered to the company through the Internet. A public cloud can free companies from the potentially expensive costs of having to purchase, manage and maintain on-premises hardware and software infrastructure.
And you will obviously need a guest to access this server, so from the FAQs on Ubuntu Cloud Guest

Ubuntu Cloud Guest is a version of Ubuntu Server LTS that is optimised for the cloud, enabling instances of Ubuntu to run as guest operating systems on top of cloud infrastructure. [...]
A typical example that I am most familiar with is AWS from Amazon, where you can run a Ubuntu server remotely (and install a GUI on it if you really want it) for free - if you comply with some limitations.
