3.5. Managing Images¶

Virtuozzo Infrastructure Platform allows you to upload ISO images and templates that can be used to create VM volumes from. An ISO image is a typical OS distribution that needs to be installed on disk. In turn, a template is a ready volume in the QCOW2 format with an installed operating system and applications and a set minimum size. Many OS vendors offer templates of their operating systems under the name “cloud images”.

1. On the COMPUTE > IMAGES tab, click Add image.

   2. Specify an image name to be shown in the management panel.
   3. Select a corresponding OS type from the drop-down list.

3. Click Done to upload the image.

The management panel will show the upload progress.
