= Creating a VM from a VirtualMachine manifest
|
|
|
|
You can create a virtual machine (VM) from a `VirtualMachine` manifest.
|
|
|
|
.Procedure
|
|
|
|
. Edit the `VirtualMachine` manifest for your VM. The following example configures a {op-system-base-full} VM:

|
====
|
|
This example manifest does not configure VM authentication.

<1> The `rhel9` golden image is used to install {op-system-base} 9 as the guest operating system.
|
|
<2> Golden images are stored in the `openshift-virtualization-os-images` namespace.
|
|
<3> The `u1.medium` instance type requests 1 vCPU and 4Gi memory for the VM. These resource values cannot be overridden within the VM.
|
|
<4> The `rhel.9` preference specifies additional attributes that support the {op-system-base} 9 guest operating system.
