Operating System

Customers can deploy their applications on Frame-provided OS images if using a public cloud infrastructure or bring your own (BYO) OS images. The following table describes the options and considerations for each option.

OS Image Source	Supported Infrastructures	Considerations
Bring Your Own (BYO)	Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud VPC Microsoft Azure, and Nutanix AHV	Requires preparation and registration of image BYO Azure images can be less than the 128 GiB Microsoft Azure images (30 GiB to 2048 GiB)
Frame-provided	Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud VPC, and Microsoft Azure	Do not need your own OS image at Frame account creation

In both Frame-provided and BYO OS image options, customers are responsible for OS licensing, application licensing, and OS and application updates.
