# Publishing resources

Desktops based on the Golden Image and all applications installed on it can be made available to users in the **Applications** category. This is called publishing resources.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: By default, Parallels DaaS deploys D2 v5 instances (2 vCPU, 8 GB memory). Please contact us if you require a different configuration.
{% endhint %}

To publish an application:

1. If you want to publish an application, make sure that it is installed on the Golden image. Desktops are always available for publishing.
2. Navigate to the **Applications** category. You will see the lists of available resources.
3. Toggle on the switch next to the resource you want to publish.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: If you cannot find your application in the list of available applications, make sure the shortcut to your application exists in the `C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs` folder on the [Golden Image](/landing/daas-guides/daas-administrators-guide/getting-started/editing-the-golden-image.md)**,** and if it's not there, create it and save the changes.
{% endhint %}
