Images in xneelo Cloud

An image contains a bootable operating system and configuration used to create a cloud instance. In xneelo Cloud, images are the starting point for launching new instances.

Using images allows you to quickly create new instances, and reuse consistent operating system configurations.

There are two types of images in xneelo Cloud: private images and public images.

Private images are images that you create or upload to your own cloud project. These images are only available within that project and are not shared publicly.

Private images are useful if you:

• Require a custom operating system or configuration.
• Need to standardise builds across multiple instances.
• Need to duplicate or migrate existing instances.

You can create a private image by:

• Uploading a custom image file
• Creating an image from an instance snapshot
• Uploading a volume to an image

Learn how to create and manage cloud images.

Private images you create are charged, at a rate per gigabyte-hour. See our pricing rules.

Images from instance snapshots are 0 bytes and are not charged.

Public images are pre-built and maintained by xneelo. They include a ready-to-use operating system and default configurations, making them the recommended boot source for most use cases.

Public images are provided in RAW disk format.

Public images are available to all cloud customers, and cannot be edited or deleted. They are available to use at no charge.

Xneelo Cloud provides a set of commonly used Linux-based operating systems. This list is updated periodically as operating systems are added or deprecated.

If you need an operating system that is not listed, you can upload or create your own private image.
