Editing a Profile

Change the settings of a user-defined profile in Autonomous Linux.

Editing a profile doesn't affect instances that are already registered with the profile. To change instance settings after registration, such as attached software sources, do this directly through the service. For example, Attaching Software Sources to an Instance.

Note

You can't edit service-provided profiles.
