+## Using images in public clouds
+
+When a NF package wants to use an image from the public cloud, we need to specify the specific image in that public cloud. The name will be different for each public cloud. That's why we need to specify, for each VIM type, a different image. Find below an excerpt from `hackfest_basic_vnf`:
+
+```yaml
+  sw-image-desc:
+  - id: ubuntu20.04
+    image: ubuntu20.04
+    name: ubuntu20.04
+  - id: ubuntu20.04-aws
+    name: ubuntu20.04-aws
+    image: ubuntu/images/hvm-ssd/ubuntu-focal-20.04-amd64-server-20231025
+    vim-type: aws
+  - id: ubuntu20.04-azure
+    name: ubuntu20.04-azure
+    image: Canonical:0001-com-ubuntu-server-focal:20_04-lts:latest
+    vim-type: azure
+  - id: ubuntu20.04-gcp
+    name: ubuntu20.04-gcp
+    image: ubuntu-os-cloud:image-family:ubuntu-2004-lts
+    vim-type: gcp
+```
