A cloud virtual machine (cloud VM) is a type of VM that represents an instance on a cloud service. Cloud VMs are shown in the machine list in VirtualBox Manager, in the same way as local VMs are.
By using cloud VMs you can create, manage, and control your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instances from VirtualBox Manager.
Cloud VMs do not install, export, or import instances to the Oracle VM VirtualBox host. All operations are done remotely on the cloud service.
Cloud VMs can be used to do the following tasks in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure:
Create a new Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
instance. See
Use an existing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
instance. See
Configure an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
instance. You can change settings for the
instance, such as display name and shape. See
Control an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instance.
Stop, start, and terminate the instance. See

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure instance. See
