Hi,

But as far as I know, this ISO image cannot be used to boot an instance.

That's not correct, see [1] for details. We use ISOs to install new VMs on a regular basis.

To attach an ISO to an instance, you have to create a volume from that ISO image first. This volume can then be attached to any instance within that project, or if you need that volume in a different project, you can transfer it [2].

And can an iso image be shared by multiple instances?

I'm not sure if I understand that correctly. If we talk about the first part of my answer (use volumes to attach images to instances) and you have created a volume that is already attached to an instance, you won't be able to attach the same volume to another instance unless you detach it from the first instance. I don't know another way to attach an ISO. You would have to create new volumes every time you need the ISO as an attachment.

Regards,
Eugen

Hi,

Yes, Glance can be used to manage ISO file and this can be configured to shared by multiple instances as is.

But as far as I know, this ISO image cannot be used to boot an instance.
