Function

This API is used to save a running instance as a container image.

This API applies to the following scenario: When you need to save the current running environment for future use or development, you can use this API to save an instance as an image. Before using this API, ensure that you have logged in to the system and have the permission to access the target instance. In addition, the instance must be running. After this API is called, the system saves the running instance as a container image, including the installed dependency packages and plug-ins. If you do not have the permission to access the specified instance or the instance is not running, the API will return an error message.
