Instance reconstruction consists of erasing the data contained on the machine and restarting as a new empty instance. To do so, go to the console of an already created instance and add files to home by listing them below:
Note: If you do not already have an instance created, go to How to create instances in BCOS?.
Example:
Create file 1: touch lista01.lst.
Create file 2: touch lista02.lst.
List created files: ls -lh.
Go to Project / Compute/ Instances, select the machine actions button and click in Rebuild Instance, then select the created instance image and click in Rebuild Instance again:
Example:
Select image: Cirros-Image.
Wait for the rebuild process to be performed.
Log in to the instance console again try to list the files.
Example:
List files: ls –lh.
Note that the created files are no longer available on the virtual machine due to the rebuild action.
