Operating systems

Get the list of available OS templates

To see available OS templates, call the List available OS templates endpoint.

Example request:

GET

1 curl https://platform.fluidstack.io/list_available_os_templates \
2      -H "api-key: <api-key>"

Make sure to replace the <api_key> with your own API key

The endpoint returns a list of operating systems, as shown in this example response:

3     "name": "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Nvidia)",
4     "description": "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with Nvidia/CUDA 12 drivers preinstalled",
5     "label": "ubuntu_20_04_lts_nvidia"
6   }
7 ]

When you create an instance, you can optionally select an operating system template by specifying a value for operating system label. For this, use one of the values for label returned by this endpoint.

Note

If you do not provide a value for operating_system_label when creating an instance, ubuntu_20_04_lts_nvidia is used as the default.
