Overview

You can share your private images with other tenants. The tenants who accept the shared images can use the images to create ECSs of the same specifications.

The cloud platform is not responsible for the integrity or security of shared images. When you use a shared image, ensure that the image is from a trusted sharer.

Constraints

  • You can share images only within the region where they reside.
  • A system disk image or data disk image can be shared with up to 128 tenants, and a full-ECS image can be shared with up to 10 tenants.
  • A full-ECS image is shareable only when it is created from a CBR backup or from an ECS that has never had a CSBS backup.

Procedure

If you want to share a private image with another tenant, the procedure is as follows:

  1. You obtain the project ID from the tenant.
  2. You share an image with the tenant.
  3. The tenant accepts the shared image.

    After accepting the image, the tenant can use it to create ECSs.
