For steps, see Activating Licenses on a Dedicated Host. If you want to bring your own license (BYOL) for Windows Server, you must activate Windows Server with your own license. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will issue a license when you launch an instance using a custom image.No additional license is required because Windows Server Datacenter includes unlimited virtual machines.īe aware of the following considerations: Then, copy your on-premises guest OS to Hyper-V on the bare metal instance. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure will issue a license for Windows Server when the instance is launched. To bring your own Hyper-V, first create a bare metal instance using the Windows Server Datacenter platform image. Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, using Hyper-V on bare metal You can bring your own operating system images or older operating systems, such as Then, copy your on-premises guest OS to KVM on the bare metal instance.įor more information, see the following resources: To bring your own KVM, first create a bare metal instance using the KVM image from Marketplace. You can bring your own operating system images or older operating systems, such as Ubuntu 6.x, RHEL 3.x, and CentOS 5.4, using KVM on bare metal instances. See Oracle Cloud VMware Solution for more information. ESXi is supported only by provisioning an Oracle Cloud VMware Solution software-defined data center (SDDC).
Note Bring your own hypervisor deployment of ESXi on bare metal compute instances is not supported. On AMD and Arm-based shapes, Oracle Linux Cloud Developer images, and Windows images, imported images are supported in paravirtualized mode only. You can launch imported Linux VMs in either paravirtualized mode or emulated mode. You can request a service limit increase. For more information, see Service Limits.
Step 1: Free download and install iSunshare ISO Genius on your Windows 10 PC.
You can import Windows and Linux-based custom images and use them to launch VMs on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Follow us to learn how to create an ISO file in Windows 10 in a few easy steps. You can import your on-premises virtualized root volumes to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure using the custom image import feature, and then launch compute instances using those images. A critical part of any lift-and-shift cloud migration project is the migration of on-premises virtual machines (VMs) to the cloud.
