OS Provision Service

Note: It is not possible to switch deployed virtual servers between monthly charging and metered charging. When deploying a virtual server, select either an image with monthly charging or one with metered charging.

Note:

For OSs to which the password policies below apply, specify a password string that satisfies the relevant policies. Otherwise, even if you set up a password successfully, you will not be able to log in to the OS with that password.

• Windows Server passwords must meet the following complexity requirements:

  • At least six characters

  • Use at least one character from three or more of the following four categories:

    1. Uppercase alphabetic characters (A - Z)
    2. Lowercase alphabetic characters (a - z)
    3. Decimal numbers (0 - 9)
    4. Characters other than alphabetic characters (such as ! , $, #, %)

• The values of the items in the password policies of Windows 2016, Windows 2012, and Windows 2012 R2 in OS Environment Provided have been changed from the default values to the following values.

  Table 2. Details of Changes from Password Policy Default Values

  Policy	Details of Change from Default Value
  Password length	At least 8 characters
  Threshold value for account lockout	10 unsuccessful attempted logins
  Reset of the lockout counter	30 minutes later
  Lockout period	30 minutes

Note: Depending on the OS, the maximum number of sockets (number of CPUs) and the maximum memory size may be limited. Therefore, you may not be able to use the full CPU resources and memory of the OS, even if you select a virtual server type that can be operated on the OS.
