Custom Templates can make your daily work easier. We will look also how we can share Templates.\u00a0 Starting with the GUI:<br \/>\n1. Go to your instance ( Computer -&gt; Instances -&gt; [instance_name] -&gt; scroll to Snapshot)<br \/>\n2. Click on &#8220;Create Snapshot&#8221;<br \/>\n3.

Exoscale will generate the URL automatically for you:<br \/>\nFirst of all you need to export the VM<\/p>\n<pre>exo vm list<\/pre>\n<pre>exo vm snapshot export 14cd6418-5fae-4003-85ee-87d409a0e4bb<\/pre>\n<p>This command will generate a URL. You can send the generated URL to your Team Members \/ customers.<br \/>\nFYI: The exported snapshot&#8217;s URL is only valid for 6 hours. You can always re-issue export commands to get a fresh URL but if you wish for it to be valid for longer, you should indeed download the snapshot and re-upload it in a public location such as a bucket of yours with a public ACL.<\/p>\n<p>To import the VM from url, the command is following:<\/p>\n<pre>exo vm template register --url<\/pre>\n<h2>Scaling up and down<\/h2>\n<p>Scaling up and down of your instance is very easy. Open your instance, click on &#8220;Scale&#8221; and change your Instance size.<\/p>\n<p><b>IMPORTANT:<\/b><br \/>\nDecreasing the DISK is not possible. After you added more space to your disk, you need to restart your instance.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-45041\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dbi-services.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/exoscale-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Our Templates<\/h2>\n<p>We prepared for our Customers two new Templates:<br \/>\n&#8211; CentOS 8 with PostgreSQL 13 installed and DMK configured.<br \/>\n&#8211; Debian 10 with PostgreSQL 13 installed and DMK configured.<\/p>\n<p>DMK (Database Management Kit) allows dba&#8217;s to manage their database environment easier.
