Uploading an External Image File

You are advised to use OBS Browser+ to upload external image files to OBS buckets. For details, see OBS Browser+ Best Practices.

For how to download OBS Browser+, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/en-us/browsertg-obs/obs_03_1003.html.

  • The bucket file and the image to be registered must belong to the same region.
  • Only unencrypted external image files or those encrypted using SSE-KMS can be uploaded to the OBS bucket.
  • The storage class of the OBS bucket must be Standard.
  • If you want to create a system disk image as well as data disk images, you need to upload the image file containing data disks to the OBS bucket. You can create one system disk image and no more than three data disk images.
