Most local cloud service providers don’t allow uploading custom ISO to install. They just provide SSH access to the cloud server or whatever port needs to be opened on the firewall, but you only get a fresh OS from a list of choices they have. You are doomed if you want to install 3CX Phone System on the cloud using the traditional ISO installation method.
