What is the available options for Hourly VPS with custom ISO ?
What is the available options for Hourly VPS with custom ISO ?
The main idea that I require custom ISO like If I can do unattended windows installation for all applications and everything I am using, and usually for desktop apps to run in windows and do fast processing for projects, so deliver it within deadline without problem.
or maybe some other way to have virtual option like vmware image file and hard drive maybe which makes it easier to manage it and quickly deploy it.
please, advice

DO Can do it. But I believe you need to trick @jar to mount it for you or something like that
It's going to be Vultr
Can't do that, but you can do custom images. ISO mount will come later.

Does DO allow custom Windows images now? (I thought that they didn't.) The OP wants Windows.
Some guys post tutorial ini the past on how to install Windows on DO. But it involving DO CS to do something.
He asked support to put his VM into rescue mode IIRC and then dd the image.
This surprises me because DO didn't use to support Windows droplets.
I wonder whether this has changed since then.
Well, I've just checked, and what I can quote is "Windows images are not supported." See "Limits" on:

Officially. Hence the trickery. Although @jar knows he is being tricked , most of the times he decided to play along.
I see.
No, it's different.
It was this one https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/1935075/#Comment_1935075.
Basically you ask support to mount rescue iso and then download and dd the image to storage to overwrite the existing OS, just like how to install Windows on Kimsufi.
Okay, I see.
But just to recall the context above: in his reply to the OP, who wants Windows, @jar referred to an official DO page, which indicates that Windows isn't supported. This is what I reacted to.
This can now be done by the customer in the control panel, without any need to wait for support
What you do with custom images I won't be much concerned with, just know that we're not equipped to offer Windows support.
Maybe some other way to have virtual vmware image file and mount it on any vm machine which makes it easier to manage it and quickly deploy it.
So actually create vmware on local computer upload it and mount it, which makes it easier.
Rent a dedi, you scrub.
Well, It's not about server type, I want to know if it's possible or not..
maybe public cloud ...
If you rent the computer, and have adequate licensing, you can deploy your VMWare image wherever. Just, ya know, fix up the networking.
