# OS Images Available

When launching a Compute instance on NeevCloud, you must select an **Image,** the base operating system or pre-configured software stack that will run on your Instance. Images are organised into five tabs based on their type and purpose.

### Operating System

### My Images

The **My Images** tab lists custom images that belong to your account. These can originate from two sources:

**1. Snapshots of existing instances**\
You can create a snapshot of any running or stopped Compute instance. The resulting image will appear here and can be used to launch new identical instances. It is useful for creating reusable base configurations, migrating workloads, or maintaining backups of configured environments.

**2. Custom uploaded images**\
If you have a specialised OS or appliance image you wish to deploy on NeevCloud infrastructure, you can request a custom image upload. Please note the following:

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Custom image uploads require prior approval from the NeevCloud team. Submitted images undergo security checks and compatibility testing before they are made available in your account, ensuring the integrity and security of the cloud platform.
{% endhint %}

* **To Upload a Custom Image:**
  * Open a [support ticket](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-products/support/raising-managing-tickets)
  * OR contact our support team.

### Volumes

The **Volumes** tab allows you to launch a new Compute instance directly from an existing [**block storage volume**](https://docs.neevcloud.com/neevcloud-products/volumes/to-create-a-server-using-volume) **snapshot**. This is useful when:

* You need to restore a previous state of an instance from a volume-level backup.
* You want to clone a volume-based workload into a new instance.
* You are migrating data from one instance configuration to another.

{% hint style="info" %}
Volume-based instance launches use data from the snapshot at the time it was taken. Make sure your volume snapshot is current before using it as an image source.
