Adding a Cloud VM

When you add a cloud VM, an existing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instance is associated with the cloud VM. You can only add one cloud VM for each instance.

Perform the following steps to add a cloud VM:

  1. Click on a cloud profile in the OCI group.

    The cloud VMs for the selected cloud profile are displayed.

  2. Select Group, Add Machine.

    The Add Cloud Virtual Machine wizard is displayed.

  3. Configure the following settings:

    • Source: The cloud service provider that hosts the instance used for the cloud VM. Select Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

    • Profile: The cloud profile used to connect to the running instance. Select from the available cloud profiles.

    • Instances: The instance to use for the cloud VM. Choose from the available instances on your cloud service.

  4. Click Finish to add a cloud VM based on the selected instance.

    A cloud VM with the same name as the instance is added to the OCI group in VirtualBox Manager.

  5. (Optional) To change the display name for the instance, click Settings and edit the Display Name field.

    The cloud VM name in VirtualBox Manager is updated automatically.
