This post is to record the process to change my Ubuntu Linux VM to Windows VM in Oracle cloud and other public cloud providers.
There are many reasons you might want to have a Windows system machine in the cloud for your lab. The steps are completely based on some other genius people’s contribution.

DD Windows to Oracle Cloud Platform Ubuntu VM
Notes:
1. Only Ubuntu works in Oracle Cloud Platform (OCP).
2. Not all images works for OCP. The image works for Oracle Cloud will need to support UEFI.
Steps:
1. Create your own Ubuntu compute instance as usual:
2. Prepare Your Ubuntu VM’s Environment (Optional)
If you are using latest Ubuntu version 20.04, you do not have to run following commands. For older version, you might need to run following commands to get some dependencies installed.
[Updated Jan 10, 2022] Found https://vps0.net/?natee which has most of NAT.EE site’s backup. Not test yet. But will do testing once having some time. You can get URL from vps0.net and replace the one in the command accordingly.
You will see lots of texts are scrolling up in your terminal sessions. After one or two minutes, you will lose your SSH connection. Please give the machine 5-10 minutes, before you manual reboot your Ubuntu VM. During reboot, the VM status will become stopping.
The VM will maintain this stopping status for 20-25 minutes, then it will become Running status.
At that time, all DD imaging processes and system rebooting processes will be completed. You will be able to RDP to this VM’s public ip with port 3389. Please make sure you have add RDP port 3389 into your Network Security Groups.
Different DD images might have different log in credentials. Those are pre-set by those image maker. All risks are yours since no guarantee those images are clean and safe. I have run some of images for years and no issues found. Strongly suggested to change 3389 port to something else.
After log in, please change password asap. It is best also change 3389 port to others.
The system is either English or Chinese version, and following is Chinese Windows 7 64B Ultimate version. You will need to activate it by yourself.
The default system after installed, memory usage will be around 366MB, and CPU usage will be less than 1%.

DD Windows to GCP / Azure Ubuntu Cloud VM
For GCP or Azure cloud environment, all steps are similar. Only different is that you will need to manual pass network parameters into the Windows VM during DD process.
