Deploy an image to a new Compute Instance

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 Linode creation interface is revealed with your image preselected. Navigate the settings and apply your desired Region, Linode Plan, Label, Root Password, and any other necessary options. See Create a Compute Instance for full instructions on creating a Compute Instance.

  4. Click Create Linode.

You can track the provisioning of the new Compute Instance in the table. Once it complete, you can access it the same way you do for all other Compute Instances by selecting Linodes from the left menu.

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
