Uploading and Registering the Image File
Upload the image file to the OBS bucket and register the image.
Restrictions
- Only an unencrypted image file or an image encrypted using SSE-KMS can be uploaded to the OBS bucket.
- When uploading the external image file, you must select an OBS bucket with Standard storage.
Procedure
- Use OBS Browser+ to upload the image file. For details, see OBS Browser Best Practices.
For how to download OBS Browser+, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/browsertg-obs/obs_03_1003.html.
- Register the external image file as a private image. For details, see Registering an Image File as a Private Image (Linux).
