    During the configuration process, you can specify a custom operating system image instead of using the supported public images. We recommend using a custom image that is based on one of the supported for SAP images to reduce the possibility of errors during the deployment process. Workload Manager supports custom images, but customization or image hardening can cause unexpected issues.

    The preceding operating systems are considered premium images and are charged as on-demand or pay-as-you-go (PAYG). You can also purchase commitments for these licenses. Bring your own license (BYOL) is not supported.
