Importing a Custom Image from a Bucket into a Roving Edge Infrastructure Device

Describes how to import a custom image from an object storage bucket for use in launching an instance on your Roving Edge Infrastructure device.

Roving Edge Infrastructure supports importing QCOW2 and OCI type images.

    1. Open the navigation menu and select Compute > Images. The Custom Images page appears. All custom images are listed in tabular form.

    2. Click Import Image. The Import Image dialog box appears.

    3. Enter a Name for the image.

    4. Select the Operating System:

      • For Linux images, select Linux.

      • For Windows images, select Windows. Select the Operating System Version, and then certify that the selected operating system complies with Microsoft licensing agreements.

    5. Click the Import from an Object Storage bucket option.

    6. Select the Bucket that contains the image.

    7. Select the image file from the Object Name list.

    8. Select the Image Type option:

      • QCOW2

      • OCI

    9. Click Import Image.

    After you click Import Image, you'll see the imported image in the Custom Images list for the compartment, with a state of Importing. To track the progress of the operation, you can monitor the associated work request.

    When the import completes successfully, the state changes to Available. If the state does not change, or no entry appears in the Custom Images list, the import failed. If the import failed, ensure you have read access to the Object Storage object, and that the object contains a supported image.

  • Use the oci compute image import from-object command and required parameters to import a custom image for use in launching an instance on your Roving Edge Infrastructure devices:

    oci compute image import from-object --compartment-id compartment_ocid --bucket-name bucket_name --name name [OPTIONS]

    To determine your Roving Edge Infrastructure device compartment OCID, see Compartments.

    Refer to your Roving Edge Infrastructure device's CLI help for a list of parameters available for this command. See Accessing Command Line Interface Help.

    For CLI setup information on your Roving Edge Infrastructure device, see Using the Command Line Interface.

  • Run the CreateImage operation and specify ImageSourceDetails in the request body to import an image from object storage.
