Virtual machines (VM)

Use a VM when you need control over the OS, packages, services and application runtime.

The lifecycle of your virtual machine

  1. 01

    Choose the OS image and access keys

  2. 02

    Install packages and application services

  3. 03

    Monitor, update and recreate from a tested image

Resource profile

A VM gives you OS-level control. Containers are a better fit when the deployment unit is an application image.

Configuration requirements

Select an image, SSH access and disk size before deployment; keep restore copies separate from the VM.
