Image Management System

An image is an Elastic Cloud Server (ECS) template that contains software and other necessary configurations, including an OS, preinstalled public applications, user’s private applications, and user’s service data. Images are categorized into public, private, and shared images. Image Management Service (IMS) provides easy-to-use self-service image management functions. You can use a public, private, or shared image to create ECSs. You can also create a private image using an ECS or an external image file.

Image Types

• Public Image

A public image is created by a user and available to other users. You can use a public image to create an ECS or BMS with ease.

• Private Image

A private image is created from an ECS or external image file and available only to the user who created it. It contains an OS, public applications, private applications, and service data.

• Shared Image

You can share your private images with other users. If you are a multi resource space user, the image sharing function allows you to use images conveniently across multiple resource spaces in the same region.
