Estimated time to read: 1 minute

Creating virtual machine instances from pre-configured images is one of the fastest ways to deploy infrastructure in Cyso Cloud. Images can include custom operating systems, pre-installed software, specific configurations, or snapshots of existing instances, allowing you to quickly replicate environments and streamline your deployment process. We also provide 'cloud ready' distribution templates of popular operating systems like CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, and others.

This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to launching a new Cyso Cloud instance using a custom image or snapshot. Whether you're deploying a development environment, scaling your production infrastructure, or restoring a previous configuration, this process will have your instance up and running in minutes.
