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.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.
