  <body>
    <p>All cloud VMs are shown in the <uicontrol>Machines</uicontrol> list in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>, in a special VM group called <b outputclass="bold">OCI</b>.</p>
    <p>Cloud VMs are further grouped according to the cloud profile used to connect to them. The cloud profile identifies the user and compartment for the cloud VM and includes details of the key pair used to connect to cloud instances. See <xref href="cloud-create-cloud-profile.dita#cloud-create-cloud-profile"/>.</p>
    <p>All cloud profiles registered with <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> are listed automatically in the OCI group.</p>
    <p>To enable or disable listing of cloud VMs in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/> for a specific cloud profile, follow these steps.</p>
