<title>Exporting an Appliance to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure</title>
<body>
<p>
Oracle VM VirtualBox supports the export of VMs to an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service.
The exported VM is stored on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure as a custom Linux image. You
can configure whether a cloud instance is created and started
after the export process has completed.
</p>
<note>
<p>
Before you export a VM to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, you must prepare the VM as
described in <xref href="cloud-export-oci-prepare-vm.dita#cloud-export-oci-prepare-vm"/>.
</p>
</note>
<p>
Use the following steps to export a VM to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
Select <b outputclass="bold">File</b>,
<b outputclass="bold">Export Appliance</b> to open
the <b outputclass="bold">Export Virtual
Appliance</b> wizard.
</p>
<p>
Select a VM to export and click
<b outputclass="bold">Next</b> to display the
<b outputclass="bold">Format Settings</b> page.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
From the <b outputclass="bold">Format</b> drop-down
list, select <b outputclass="bold">Oracle Cloud Infrastructure</b>.
</p>
<p>
In the <b outputclass="bold">Profile</b> drop-down
list, select the cloud profile used for your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure account.

</image>
</fig>
<p>
In the <b outputclass="bold">Machine Creation</b>
field, select an option to configure settings for the cloud
instance created when you export to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The options
enable you to do one of the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Configure settings for the cloud instance
<i>after</i> you have finished exporting
the VM.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Configure settings for the cloud instance
<i>before</i> you start to export the VM.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Do not create a cloud instance when you export the VM.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Click <b outputclass="bold">Next</b> to make an API
request to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service and open the
<b outputclass="bold">Appliance Settings</b> page.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
(Optional) Edit storage settings used for the exported
virtual machine in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. You can change the following
settings:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
The name of the bucket used to store the exported files.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Whether to store the custom image in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The display name for the custom image in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
The launch mode for the custom image.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Paravirtualized</b> mode
gives improved performance and should be suitable for
most Oracle VM VirtualBox VMs.
</p>
<p><b outputclass="bold">Emulated</b> mode is
suitable for legacy OS images.
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Click <b outputclass="bold">Finish</b> to continue.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
(Optional) Depending on the selection in the
<b outputclass="bold">Machine Creation</b> field, the
<b outputclass="bold">Appliance Settings</b> page may
be displayed before or after export. This screen enables you
to configure settings for the cloud instance, such as Shape
and Disk Size.
</p>
<p>
Click <b outputclass="bold">Finish</b>. The VM is
exported to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
</p>
<p>
Depending on the <b outputclass="bold">Machine
Creation</b> setting, a cloud instance may be started
after upload to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is completed.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Monitor the export process by using the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>
You can also use the <userinput>VBoxManage export</userinput>
command to export a VM to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. See
<xref href="man_VBoxManage-export.dita"/>.
