External Image File Formats and Supported OSs

External File Formats

Image files in VMDK, VHD, QCOW2, RAW, VHDX, QED, VDI, QCOW, ISO, ZVHD2, or ZVHD format can be used to create private images. Select whichever format best meeting your requirements.

Supported OSs

The OSs supported by external image files are listed by CPU architecture.

When you upload an external image file to an OBS bucket on the management console, the OS contained in the image file will be checked. Table 1 and Table 2 list the OSs supported by external image files.

If the OS cannot be identified or is not supported:

  • For Windows, Other_Windows (64_bit) or Other_Windows (32_bit) will be selected during image registration.
  • For Linux, Other_Linux (64_bit) or Other_Linux (32_bit) will be selected during image registration.

Uploading image files containing OSs not listed in Table 1 and Table 2 may fail. You are advised to contact the customer service before attempting to upload these image files.
