Creating an Artifact
Learn how to create an artifact for your updated image or stack.
Creating an Artifact for Image Listing
If you're a partner who is approved for Oracle Cloud Infrastructure product, then you can create artifacts.
If you're creating an artifact for an image listing, ensure that you have uploaded the image to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure before creating the artifact. See Using Partner Portal for OCI Image Listing.
For information regarding the size requirements of a custom image, see the Limitations and Considerations section.
To create an artifact for an image listing, do the following:
The Compute Image in your tenancy is launched, validated against the Guidelines for Images, and scanned for malware. This process could take up to six hours to complete. In general, the average time taken for this process is around one hour. During this time, the status of the artifact is In Progress. If there are no validation errors, the status of the artifact changes to Available.
If there are any validation errors, the status of the artifact changes to Unavailable. To view the validation errors, see Viewing Artifact Details.
Next, create an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure application listing. See, Creating a Listing
Ensure that your listing complies with the general guidelines for listings. See, Guidelines for Images.
