Issue description
- You couldn't start an instance whose OS loader uses UEFI.
- You couldn't start an instance whose boot disk uses the GUID Partition Table.
Solution
The VM image using a UEFI bootloader won't work in Yandex Cloud.
To boot from GPT-formatted disks of more than 2 TB, you can use the GRUB 2 bootloader.
You can vote for UEFI support on the Yandex Cloud community portal.
