About Linux Instances
Instances are computing units that provide you with resources to run your applications/workloads. Linux Instances are virtual machines that run the images of Linux Operating Systems, for example, Ubuntu, CentOS, Rocky, Oracle, Debian, etc.
Before creating a Linux instance, it is important to plan the architecture, networking and access to the Linux Instances.
