Launch an instance using a shape that is compatible with the chosen image.

  1. List images in the compartment filtered by operating system and available lifecycle state, selecting the first match as the base image.
  2. List shapes in the compartment constrained to those compatible with the chosen image, selecting the first compatible shape.
  3. Launch an instance from the matched image and compatible shape, attaching its primary VNIC to the supplied subnet.
  4. Read the newly launched instance to surface its current lifecycle state and confirm the launch landed.
