BYOS Guide
1. Bring-your-own-subscription (BYOS)
Bring-your-own-subscription (BYOS) images are useful if you already have a support contract with SUSE and want to move your workloads to the public cloud. An instance launched from a BYOS image is equivalent to a physical machine that just received a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation from the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server installation image.
After creation:
-
use
registercloudguestto register the instance with the SUSE-operated update infrastructure in the cloud framework, or -
use the command
SUSEConnectto register the system with SUSE Customer Center using the entitlements you already have.
Connect your system to your own running RMT or SUSE Multi-Linux Manager infrastructure in the same way you connect systems in your data center.
BYOS instances make it easier to manage extensions such as LTSS or kernel live-patching. Extensions for PAYG instances can only be used in conjunction with SUSE Multi-Linux Manager.
