  • During the configuration process, you can specify a custom Operating System image instead of using the supported public images. We recommend using a custom image that is based on one of the supported for SAP images to reduce the possibility of errors during the deployment process. Support for custom images is offered as a best-effort as there may be unexpected issues that results from the customization or image hardening process.

    The preceding operating systems are considered Premium Images and are charged as On-demand or Pay-as-you-go (PAYG). You may also purchase commitments for these licenses. Bring your own license (BYOL) is not supported.
