10 Image List
The machine images that you can use for creating instances are stored in image lists. You can add machine images to an image list to create a versioned selection of related machine images. For example, you might want to set up an image list containing a selection of machine images of various Oracle Linux releases. When you create an instance, by using a launch plan for example, you must specify the image list that contains the image you want to use. You can also specify the entry in the image list which you want to use to launch instances. If you don’t specify an entry, the default entry defined for the image list is used. For more information, see Maintaining Versions of Private Machine Images in Using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute Classic.
Before running the CLI commands described in this section, make sure that you've installed the CLI client and set up the required environment variables as described in Preparing to Use the CLI.
image-list add
Adds an image list to Compute Classic.
After adding an image list, you can add machine images to the image list as described in image-list-entry add.
