images?

Question

If there is a library of standard images for compute service or I need to build them myself? I just need a stock Ubuntu or Fedora Core linux image, recent version. Sincerely, Vadim

Vadim, We do not have stock images today, this is something we certainly plan to do however.

I found a way to convert v7 ESX VMs to v7, required by ATMOS. Any Chance V7 will work as well? Vadim

I tried using the same approach, clicking on the 'ESX Compatible' checkbox - it did not work.

My best option was to install ESX (ESXi) 3.5 in a VMWare image on my Windows 7 machine. It makes images very well.

Regards,

Mike

Vadim, that won't work - please look at the thread here for a documented procedure how to produce ESX 3.5 compatible image: https://community.emc.com/message/441827#441827. thanks, Nik

Do you have Atmos Compute compatible images now? Also if the vmware Appliance images can all be converted to be loadable to the cloud that would excite several open source communities to jump into this bandwagon. If it is already avaialble, can you provide the link here?

You do not need to build the images yourself — most major cloud compute services (like AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, etc.) provide a library of standard images, including:

Stock Ubuntu (e.g., 22.04, 20.04)
Fedora Core (latest stable releases)

Here’s a quick rundown:

AWS EC2: Has official AMIs (Amazon Machine Images) for Ubuntu, Fedora, and many more.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP): Offers public images for Ubuntu and Fedora directly from Canonical and Fedora Project.
Microsoft Azure: Also includes stock Ubuntu and Fedora Core images from the image marketplace.
Other cloud platforms (e.g., DigitalOcean, Linode, etc.): Typically provide 1-click deployments for recent versions of Ubuntu and Fedora.

Here’s a quick rundown:
