Machine Images

A machine image, also known as an operating system (OS) image, is a pre-configured version of an OS used to create and deploy compute instances. It includes all files, configurations, and settings needed to run the OS in an instance or a node. These OS images contain a fully installed and configured operating system, including system libraries, application software, and system settings essential for the instance’s functionality and performance.
