Private Image Overview

A private image is an image available only to the user who created it. It contains an OS, preinstalled public applications, and a user's private applications. You can create a private image in the following ways:

• Creating a Private Image from a BMS
• Creating a Private Image from an External Image File

After a private image is created successfully, the image status becomes Normal. You can use the image to create BMSs or share the image with other tenants. You can also replicate the image to your other regions. The following figure shows how to use private images.
