If you have not done this before, then the first one is your only option. The other two are only possible if you have already created a bootable volume or an image snapshot.

If creating a volume as part of the process of launching the VM, select <code>Boot from image (creates a new volume)</code>, select the image to use, and the size of the volume. If this volume is something you would like to remain longer than the VM ensure that the "Delete on Terminate" box is unchecked. If you are unsure about this option, it is better to leave this box unchecked. You can manually delete the volume later.
