PowerVS Images

CAPIBM requires a machine boot image to be available in your PowerVS workspace. Two image types are available depending on your cluster topology:

Image typeUsed with
Standard imagesVirtualIP topology — imported manually into an existing workspace
DHCP-enabled imagesLoadBalancer topology — imported automatically by CAPIBM from COS during cluster creation

Images are built using the image-builder tool. See How to build machine boot images for details.
