What Are the Differences Between Sharing Images and Replicating Images?
- Sharing images:
You can only share images within a region with other users. To share an image across regions, replicate the image to the target region and then share it. For details, see Sharing Images.
- Replicating images:
- In-region: You can convert encrypted and unencrypted images into each other or enable some advanced features (such as fast ECS creation from an image) by replicating an image within a region.
The following table describes the details.
