A Custom Image Captured from an Instance or Imported from Object Storage
A custom Compute image from exactly one source: an instance you built (its boot volume, secrets and all, so build it clean) or a QCOW2 or VMDK object in Object Storage with its operating system named, in the launch mode the workload needs (NATIVE for images built on OCI, PARAVIRTUALIZED for imports). OCI has no image family; the name carries the build.

Documentation
oci-custom-image
A custom Compute image captured from an instance or imported from
Object Storage. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu (>= 1.6), oci
provider >= 8.0, < 9.0.
The image is the instance at that moment; build it clean.
One source; an instance or an object, never both.
Nothing versions an image; the name carries the build.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

Related modules
oci-os-management-patching
An OS Management Hub scheduled job that installs every available update (security-only and the other partial operations by name) on the managed instance groups or compartments you name, weekly by an RRULE from a first run you set in the future, with a reboot window per instance and retries. Instances have to run the agent and be registered with a software source to be seen.
oci-instance-pool-autoscaling
Self-healing instance pool from an instance configuration with metric- or schedule-based autoscaling and LB attachment.
oci-compute-instance
Opinionated VM with E5/A1 flex shapes, cloud-init, attached block volumes, NSGs and in-transit encryption.
tencent-image
A Tencent Cloud custom image captured from a CVM instance into an image family, so instances that name the family get the newest image (no family by name). The capture refuses a running instance rather than powering it off, and takes the system disk only unless data disks are named.
gcp-compute-image
A custom Compute Engine image from a disk, snapshot, image or raw tarball (exactly one), in a family instances resolve, encrypted with your Cloud KMS key, stored in the location you choose and shared by a compute.imageUser binding. The guest features default to a current distribution image; no family and the Google-managed key are each accepted by name.
do-custom-image
A DigitalOcean custom image imported from a URL (raw, qcow2, vhdx, vdi or vmdk) into the regions you name, one region by name. Host the file in a Space you own: a URL nobody controls is an image nobody controls. The name carries the build.
