CoreWeave System Images

Operating System images provided by CoreWeave Cloud include enhancements and features to reduce friction when running Virtual Servers in the cloud.
This section documents how to use CoreWeave specific features, and operating system enhancements one should be aware of.
Identifying Images
Operating system source images provided by CoreWeave for Virtual Servers live in the vd-images namespace. There are several metadata properties that exist for easy identification:
Metadata Labels
images.coreweave.cloud/family
Identifies the OS type, usually Windows or Linux
images.coreweave.cloud/features
Identifies image specific features, such as Teradici enabled or nVidia drivers
images.coreweave.cloud/id
Image ID used during CI/CD
images.coreweave.cloud/latest
Boolean tag for the latest image revision
images.coreweave.cloud/name
Complete image name, as displayed in the Web UI
images.coreweave.cloud/os-name
Parent OS
images.coreweave.cloud/os-version
Subsection of OS, such as Standard or Professional Edition
images.coreweave.cloud/private
Boolean tag for testing images not intended to be used
images.coreweave.cloud/region
Datacenter region the image resides in
images.coreweave.cloud/version
Date tag for when the image was built
Querying Images using Metadata Labels
Using kubectl via CLI and the metadata labels listed above, individual images are easily queried.
Listing all latest images available for use
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false
Sorting all images by Region
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false --sort-by=.spec.storageClassName
Filtering by Windows Images
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/family=windows
Filtering by Windows 10
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/os-name=Windows_10
Extracting just the image name, filtering Windows 10 by Region
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/os-name=Windows_10,images.coreweave.cloud/region=ord1 -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}'
Filtering by Linux Images
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/family=linux
Filtering by Ubuntu Images
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/os-name=Ubuntu
Filtering by Ubuntu 20.04
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/name=Ubuntu_20.04
Extracting just the image name, filtering Ubuntu 20.04 by Region
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/name=Ubuntu_20.04,images.coreweave.cloud/region=ord1 -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}'
Listing all Linux Images and their features, filtering by Region
kubectl get pvc -n vd-images -l images.coreweave.cloud/latest=true,images.coreweave.cloud/private=false,images.coreweave.cloud/family=linux,images.coreweave.cloud/region=ord1 -o=custom-columns="PVC:metadata.name,NAME:metadata.labels['images\.coreweave\.cloud\/name'],FEATURES:metadata.labels['images\.coreweave\.cloud\/features'],SIZE:status.capacity.storage,STORAGECLASS:.spec.storageClassName" --sort-by='.metadata.name'
