Creating a VM with Container Optimized Image

If you don't have the Nebius Israel command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. View a description of the CLI command to create a VM from a Container Optimized Image:

   yc compute instance create-with-container --help
   

2. Create a VM from a Container Optimized Image:

   yc compute instance create-with-container \
     --name my-vm \
     --zone il1-b \
     --ssh-key ssh-key.pub \
     --service-account-name my-robot \
     --platform standard-v3 \
     --create-boot-disk size=30 \
     --public-ip \
     --container-name=my-app \
     --container-image=cr.il.nebius.cloud/mirror/ubuntu:16.04 \
     --container-command=sleep \
     --container-arg="1000" \
     --container-env=KEY1=VAL1,KEY2=VAL2 \
     --container-privileged
   

   Where:

   • --name: VM name.
   • --zone: Availability zone.
   • --ssh-key: Contents of the public key file.
   • --service-account-name: Name of the service account.
   • --create-boot-disk size: Boot disk size. It must be at least 30 GB.
   • --public-ip: Public IP address allocated to the VM.
   • --container-name: Name of the Docker container.
   • --container-image: Name of the Docker image used to launch the Docker container.
   • --container-command: Command to run upon Docker container launch.
   • --container-arg: Parameters for the command specified in --container-command.
   • --container-env: Environment variables available in the Docker container.
   • --container-privileged: Launching the Docker container in privileged mode.

   Result:

   done (17s)
    id: epdbf646ge5qgutfvh43
    folder_id: b1g88tflru0ek1omtsu0
    created_at: "2023-03-13T09:44:03Z"
    name: my-vm
   ...
   

   Once created, the VM will appear in the VM list under Compute Cloud in the management console. For more information about working with VMs, see our step-by-step guides.
