What to know before creating a Cloud Server from an image
To create a Cloud Server from an image, you must have an image available in the
Image repository:
- the image must have the status Active;
- you can use both bootable and non-bootable images; whether the Cloud Server can boot depends on the image characteristics and the volume configuration;
- the Cloud Server must be created in the same region where the image is available;
- the minimum Cloud Server disk size depends on the image operating system: 20 GB for Linux and 40 GB for Windows.
