Create an image

Creating images allows you to launch any AWS or GCP machine instance from RosettaHub and benefit from the lifecycle management of the platform. You can also easily connect to your instance from RosettaHub, as the platform keeps for you the connection credentials of your instance.

1. Find the cloud image id that you want to use. For AWS The id of each AMI starts with ami-, for Azure you need to input the full resource id of your custom image, for marketplace images you need to input colon-separated publisher, offer, sku and version for example: Canonical: UbuntuServer:18_04-lts-gen2:latest

2. From the RosettaHub dashboard, click the plus sign in the view Images
