|

| 69 | You can create a cloud profile in the following ways:
|
|---|
| 70 | </p>
|
|---|
| 71 | <ul>
|
|---|
| 72 | <li>
|
|---|
| 73 | <p>Automatically, by using the <b outputclass="bold">Cloud Profile Manager</b>. See <xref
|
|---|
| 74 | href="cloud-using-cloud-profile-manager.dita#cloud-using-cloud-profile-manager"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 75 | <p>The Cloud Profile Manager is a <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> tool that enables you to
|
|---|
| 76 | create, edit, and manage cloud profiles for your cloud service accounts. </p>
|
|---|
| 77 | </li>
|
|---|
| 78 | <li>
|
|---|
| 79 | <p>Automatically, by using the <userinput>VBoxManage cloudprofile</userinput> command. See <xref href="../cli_topics/vboxmanage-cloudprofile.dita"/>. </p>
|
|---|
| 80 | </li>
|
|---|
| 81 | <li>
|
|---|
| 82 | <p>Manually, by creating an <filepath>oci_config</filepath> file in your <ph
|
|---|
| 83 | conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> global configuration directory. For example, this is
|
|---|
| 84 | <filepath>$HOME/.config/VirtualBox/oci_config</filepath> on a Linux host. </p>
|
|---|
| 85 | </li>
|
|---|
| 86 | <li>
|
|---|
| 87 | <p>Manually, by creating a <filepath>config</filepath> file in your <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/>
|
|---|
| 88 | configuration directory. For example, this is <filepath>$HOME/.oci/config</filepath> on a Linux host. </p>
|
|---|
| 89 | <p>This is the same file that is used by the <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/oci"/> command line
|
|---|
| 90 | interface. </p>
|
|---|
| 91 | <p><ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> automatically uses the <filepath>config</filepath> file
|
|---|
| 92 | if no cloud profile file is present in your global configuration directory. Alternatively, you can import this
|
|---|
| 93 | file manually into the Cloud Profile Manager. </p>
