Booting cloud Linux instances

“

- All right. Let's also talk about booting of CloudLinux instances because booting CloudLinux instances is different. When you are using Linux in cloud, cloud-based boot loaders are the standard. There is no BIOS or UEFI in the cloud because the cloud provides that functionality. And for that reason, it's also the cloud that provides the kernel from a boot image. And no GRUB2 is involved, and cloud-specific parameters may be required to change the boot procedure. Now, this procedure is very much depending on the cloud that you are using, and that's why I'm not going to demonstrate anything about it. Just realize that in your CloudLinux, you don't have access to a GRUB2 boot prompt.
