+
+## Details
+
+For installing Oracle Linux, in addition to downloading standard installation images for different platforms, you can also generate your own custom Oracle Linux images with the Image Builder tool. 
+
+All additional packages and customizations to be added to your new custom image are defined using a blueprint. The tool creates your custom composer image based on your blueprint and your chosen image format, ready to deploy on a variety of cloud and bare metal platforms. The custom images are stored in the tool, ready to be downloaded whenever you need.
+
+The tool works from command line or from the Image Builder page in the Cockpit web console.
+
+This lab describes how to use the Image Builder tool from command line to create ready to deploy custom Oracle Linux images.
+
+### Objectives
+
+In this lab you will practice how to:
+
+- Install the Image builder tool
+- Create and configure blueprints
+- Use blueprints to create composer images
+- Download composer images from the tool
+- View and download image log files and metadata
+- Create custom image for cloud deployment
+- Delete Images and Blueprints from the tool
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Any Oracle Linux 8 system or later
+

Learn how to write the VBoxManage createvm command that includes naming the virtual machine, selecting an operating system type, selecting an architecture, and optionally, registering the virtual machine with Oracle VirtualBox.

+This video demonstrates how to use VBoxManage to modify properties of a virtual machine(VM) on an Oracle Linux system. VBoxManage is the command-line interface to Oracle VirtualBox. Learn how to write the VBoxManage showvminfo command that displays all of the virtual machines properties like CPU count, memory, VNIC and more. Then learn to modify those properties with the VBoxManage modifyvm command. Modifyvm only works on registered virtual machines that are not currently running.

+This video demonstrates how to use the VBoxManage CLI to start Oracle VirtualBox virtual machines(VM) as headless on an Oracle Linux system. Oracle VirtualBox comes with a front-end called VBoxHeadless, which produces no visible output on the host at all, but can optionally deliver VRDP data. Headless virtual machines are ideal for setting up remote desktop servers where users connect remotely via remote diplay protocols(RDP).
