Creating Images

Prerequisites

Before creating a private image, you need to purchase and deploy a Huawei Cloud Elastic Cloud Server (ECS).
Recommended ECS configuration:
- Public image
- General computing or General computing-plus

You can create a system disk image using a public image provided by Huawei Cloud and release it to KooGallery. You are advised to select an ECS in the following region to create private images. Then you can copy the created images to other regions.

Region	Region Code	Remarks
Singapore	AP-Singapore	Recommended

You need to check your images against Image Security Standards to ensure that the images have no security vulnerabilities, so that they can pass the subsequent security scanning.
You need to enable the remote login service for your image.
1. If it is a Linux OS image, run the sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config command to edit the SSH configuration file and change the value of PermitRootLogin to yes. (Skip this step for public Linux OS images provided by Huawei since remote login is already enabled.)
2. If it is a Windows OS image, enable the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service.

Procedure

After deploying and installing products you need on the ECS, log in to the ECS console, locate the target ECS, and choose More > Stop in the Operation column to stop the ECS.
Choose More > Manage Image/Disk > Create Image in the Operation column on the right of the ECS.
In the Image Type and Source area, click the ECS tab and select the target host for Source, set the image name and description in the Image Information area, and click Next.

Image products on KooGallery are system disk images created on the Huawei Cloud public system. When creating an image, create a system disk image.
On the Details page, confirm the image information and click Submit.
In the navigation pane on the left, choose Image Management Service > Private Images to view the created private image.

Save the ECS login password for image buyers when creating a Windows private image.
