Follow this procedure to create a new compute instance using the Gateway custom image.
To create a new compute instance using the Gateway custom image, perform the following steps in the OCI web user interface:
Under Core Infrastructure, go to Compute and click Instances. Choose the Compartment you require for the gateway and then click Create Instance.
In the Create Compute Instance dialog box, you specify the resources to use for your instance. By default, your instance launches in the current compartment, and the resources you choose also come from the current compartment.
In the Create Compute Instance dialog box, specify the following:
Name your instance: The name for the instance. You can add or change the name later. The name doesn't need to be unique; an Oracle Cloud Identifier (OCID) uniquely identifies the instance.
Select an availability domain for your instance: Select an Availability Domain based on current AD usage in your tenancy.
Choose an operating system or image source: The source of the image to use for booting the instance. When you click Change Image Source, the Browse All Images dialog box opens with the operating system or image source options.
Choose Custom Images, then Select your image, and choose the image from the saved location.
Choose instance type: Select Virtual Machine.
Choose instance shape: Choose the instance shape based on the standard gateway requirements (VM.Standard2.4.)
See Minimum System Requirements for more information about the gateway requirements.
Configure boot volume: Select the default.
Add SSH key: Do not choose an SSH key.
Configure networking: The network details for the instance. In this section, you configure the following:
Virtual Cloud Network Compartment: The compartment containing the network in which to create the instance.
Virtual Cloud Network: The VCN created for the gateway.
Subnet Compartment: The subnet compartment created for the gateway.
Subnet: The subnet created for the gateway.
Show Advanced Options: Advanced networking and management options.
On the Networking tab, select Private IP Address.
Choose a private IP address for the gateway from the subnet (this will be the static IP of the Gateway used for monitoring.)
On the Networking tab, select Assign public IP address:.
After the instance is provisioned, details about it appear in the instance list. To view additional details, including public and private IP addresses, click the instance name.
