Replicating an Image Within a Region

Function

This API is an extension one and is used to copy an existing image to another image. When replicating an image, you can change the image attributes to meet the requirements of different scenarios.

This API is an asynchronous one. If job_id is returned, the task is successfully delivered. You need to query the status of the asynchronous task. If the status is success, the task is successfully executed. If the status is failed, the task fails. For details about how to query the status of an asynchronous task, see Querying the Status of an Asynchronous Job.

Huawei Cloud has stopped providing Windows images. This API will no longer be used to replicate Windows images.

Constraints

• Full-ECS images cannot be replicated within the same region.
• Private images created using ISO files do not support in-region replication.
