Components

Builders

• instance - This builder creates custom images on Oxide. The builder launches a temporary instance, connects to it using its external IP, provisions it, and then creates an image from the instance's boot disk. The resulting image can be used to launch new instances.

Data Sources

• image - This data source fetches the image ID for an Oxide image using its name. The image can be a project image or silo image.
