# Bring Your Own

Organizations have the ability to “bring your own” (BYO) images on their Frame cloud account(s) as template images. Once a template image is registered on their cloud account within Frame, administrators can create Frame accounts using the template image. Before selecting a BYO image guide from the list of infrastructure providers, please carefully review the requirements and considerations listed below.

## Requirements

- You have a 64-bit version of Windows or Linux operating system. 32-bit OS images are not supported.
- You have [downloaded](https://files.difr.com/) the latest Frame Guest Agent (FGA) Installer (Windows) or Frame Guest Agent Workload Installer (Linux).
- You are using your own infrastructure ([Amazon Web Services](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/amazon-web-services), [Google Cloud Platform](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/google-cloud-platform), [Microsoft Azure](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/azure), and [Nutanix AHV](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/ahv)).
- For AWS, Azure, and GCP, you must be using one or more of the public cloud infrastructure instance types listed in the tables [here](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/daas-supported-instance-types).
- Set your template image timezone to **UTC**. When users start a Frame session, the workload VM will be set, by default, to the correct timezone based on the user's browser locale.
- Ensure your template image VM network adapter is configured to obtain IP address from DHCP. If the IP address is a static IP address, the workload VMs (Sandbox, Utility Servers, test and production pool instances) created from your template image will not boot correctly.

## Procedure

In order to register your template image with Frame, you will need to perform the following steps:

1. [Download](https://files.difr.com) the Windows Frame Guest Agent (FGA) Installer or Linux Frame Workload Installer.
2. Prepare your [Windows](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/windows) or [Linux](https://docs.difr.com/books/platform-administrators-guide/page/linux) template image using the Frame installer in your chosen infrastructure.
3. Register your template image in the appropriate Cloud Account associated with the desired Frame Customer or Organization entity.
