What Do I Do If I Cannot Find a Desired Image?
Huawei Cloud supports the following public images: CentOS, Debian, openSUSE, Fedora, Ubuntu, EulerOS, and CoreOS. You can view OS types and versions on the Public Images page on the management console. If you cannot find a desired image, you have the following options:
- Download an image file from the official OS website and then use the file to create a private image. For details, see Creating a Windows System Disk Image from an External Image File or Creating a Linux System Disk Image from an External Image File. The external image file can be in the VMDK, VHD, QCOW2, RAW, VHDX, QED, VDI, QCOW, ZVHD2, or ZVHD format.
- If you already have an ISO file and the OS is supported by the cloud platform (for details, see External Image File Formats and Supported OSs), you can create a private image as follows:
- Create a private image on the management console. For details, see Creating a Windows System Disk Image from an ISO File or Creating a Linux System Disk Image from an ISO File.
- Use VirtualBox to create a private image. For details, see Creating a Windows Image Using VirtualBox and an ISO File or Creating a Linux Image Using VirtualBox and an ISO File.
- If the image belongs to another tenant, ask the tenant to share it with you. For details about image sharing, see Sharing Specified Images.
- You can find private images in KooGallery.
If after trying all of these methods, you are still unable to obtain the desired image, you are advised to create a service ticket to contact Huawei Cloud technical support.
