Imported Linux virtual machine images can be launched in either paravirtualized mode or emulated mode, with paravirtualized mode offering better performance. Paravirtualized mode is recommended and is supported on Linux systems using kernel version 3.4 or later, as verified using the uname command. Certain AMD, Arm, and Oracle Linux Cloud Developer images only support paravirtualized mode.

As part of the import process, a launch mode is applied to the image. An
image's launch mode is a pre-defined set of launch options. You can launch imported Linux VMs in either paravirtualized mode or emulated mode. On AMD and Arm-based shapes as well as Oracle Linux Cloud Developer images, imported images are supported in paravirtualized mode only.
Paravirtualized mode offers better performance than emulated mode. We
recommend that you use paravirtualized mode if your OS supports it. Linux- based operating systems running the kernel version 3.4 or later support paravirtualized drivers. You can verify your system's kernel version using the uname command.
