Currently, for each Linux image, there are two series of images, one
with a datestamp (e,g, _20180106_0) and one with a _latest name
which gets renamed to _prevN and hidden upon a new _latest image
registration. We have followed a roughly monthly update schedule
(aligning with the Windows world) for the datestamp images and the
_latest images while pushing out additional _latest images in
between occasionally based on major improvements, bug fixes or security
issues.
When you need to scale vertically, i.e. change the available vCPUs or RAM assigned to a VM in OTC, you can use the resize (change specifications) feature and change the flavor of an existing VM. You can do this via the web interface or the API -- when you then restart the VM, it will come up with the new flavor type.
