CloudpeCloud allows you to upload ISO images and templates that can be used to create VM volumes:
- An ISO image is a typical OS distribution that needs to be installed on disk. You can upload an ISO image to the compute cluster.
- A template is a ready boot volume in the QCOW2 format with an installed operating system and applications. Many OS vendors offer templates of their operating systems under the name “cloud images”. You can upload a cloud image from the OS official repository or prepare your own template in the compute cluster.
Prerequisites:
- Knowledge of the supported guest operating systems listed in Supported Guest Operating Systems.
Creating Volumes from Image
You can create volumes from both ISO images and templates.
- Go to the Images screen, and then click the required image.
- On the image panel, click Create volume.
- In the Create volume window, specify the volume name, size, and select a storage policy.
- Click Create.
The new volume will appear on the Volumes screen.
