Subscribing To an OMI Product

As an OUTSCALE Marketplace buyer, you can subscribe to an OUTSCALE machine image (OMI) product from the catalog based on an hourly, free/open source, bring your own license (BYOL), or subscription offer.

When subscribing to a product, you are given access to all of its versions and OMIs in the available deployment Regions.

You can create virtual machines (VMs) from the corresponding OMI. For more information, see Creating VMs. You can consume VMs on demand or reserve one or more VMs to benefit from discounts. For more information, see About VMs > Reserved VMs.

The My subscriptions page enables you to view the OMI product subscriptions of your organization, and the BYOL products your organization has accessed via the seller partners' websites.

  • Seller partners can unpublish OMI products, for example if these have reached their end of life, or unpublish specific versions of OMI products. In both cases, subscribers and their organization administrators are automatically informed by email.

  • Once an OMI is unpublished, you cannot create VMs from it anymore. However, VMs already launched from the OMI can still be used.

  • You can subscribe several times to an offer to reserve one or more VMs for another OUTSCALE account in your organization and/or in another Region.

  • You can also subscribe several times to a subscription offer to meet your organization’s needs.

  • The My subscriptions page enables you to view the hourly and free/open source product subscriptions of your organization, and the BYOL products your organization has accessed via the seller partners' websites.

  • From this page, you can obtain seller partners' contact information, view the product documentation, download the corresponding license agreement, and copy OMI IDs by deployment Region. If the seller partner has provided one, you can also access a template to automate product deployment.

  • Product cards indicate the latest available version of the OMI product by deployment Region.
