Getting a Custom Image

• Console
• CLI
• API

• 1. On the Compute custom images list page, select the custom image that you want to view. If you need help finding the custom images list page, see Listing Custom Images.

  From the selected image you can:

  • View the image capabilities. Image capabilities are the configuration options available when launching an instance from an image.
  • View the compatible shapes for this image.
  • View any work requests related to this image.
  • View tags assigned to this image.

• Use the image get command and required parameters to get a custom image:

  Copy

  oci compute image get --from-json <file://path/to/file.json>

  Use the image-shape-compatibility-entry list command and required parameters to get the list of compatible shapes:

  Copy

  oci compute image-shape-compatibility-entry list --from-json <file://path/to/file.json>

  <file://path/to/file.json> is the path to a JSON file that defines the instance details. For information about how to generate an example of the JSON file, see Advanced JSON Options.

  For a complete list of flags and variable options for the Compute service CLI commands, see the command line reference for Compute.

• For information about using the API and signing requests, see REST API documentation and Security Credentials. For information about SDKs, see SDKs and the CLI.

  Use this API operation to get an instance:

  • GetImage
  • ListImageShapeCompatibilityEntries
