An image is a complete copy of the file system structure and data on a disk. Cloud Desktop images always contain an OS.

An image is used to create a desktop boot disk.

Custom imagesCustom images

In Cloud Desktop, you can add custom images created from:

• Cloud Desktop desktop
• Linux VM in Compute Cloud
• Your own Windows image

This way, you can deploy and configure the required software environment on your desktop, VM, or in an image, and replicate it to users through Cloud Desktop images.

You can delete custom images.
