Follow these steps to deploy your stored image as a disk in a new Compute Instance.

📘

A Compute Instance can have up to 50 disks.

1. Log in to Cloud Manager and navigate to the Images page.

2. Locate the Image you want to use, click its ellipsis options menu, and select Deploy to a New Linode.

   

3. The Create Linode form is revealed. Specifically set these options:

   • Region. You can deploy a saved image to any compatible region:
     • Custom image. This is an image you created, either a captured image or an uploaded image . These can be deployed to any region. (These are what we call second generation images.)
     • Recovery image. This image is automatically generated after you delete a Compute Instance. These are generated using our legacy, first generation image service. These can only be deployed to core compute regions. (The list available in the Regions drop-down is limited to core compute regions.)

       📘

       See Regions and images for complete details on region support.

   • Choose an Image. Your image is default selected here. Leave this as is.
   • Linode Plan. Select an appropriate plan for your image. The plan size needs to accommodate the size of the disk in your image.

4. Set the remaining options as necessary. See Create a Compute Instance for details on thee options.

5. Click the Create Linode button to create the Compute Instance based on the selected Image.

Troubleshooting

If you can't access your newCompute Instance through SSH or it doesn't respond to pings, check to see if Network Helper is enabled. If it's disabled, the internal network configuration on your new Compute Instance is not automatically configured. In this case, you can do either of the following:

• Enable Network Helper and reboot
• Manually edit your network configuration files and reboot
