Image Types

FlexusL provides OS images, application images, and private images for you to choose from.

Image Type

Description

OS Images

OS images only include the necessary OSs to launch servers, without any application data or environment configurations. After a FlexusL instance is created from an OS image, it runs on an OS without any applications installed. You can install applications based on your service requirements.

For details about how to create a FlexusL instance from an OS image, see Creating an Nginx Server Using the CentOS Image.

Application Images

An application image contains not only the underlying OS (Ubuntu 22.04), but also application software, initialization data, and runtime environment required by the application. You can use application images to quickly deploy applications out-of-the-box, minimizing the need for separate upload and installation.

For details about how to perform operations on the application image dashboard, see Logging In to the Application Image Dashboard.

Private Images

You can use a private image to quickly create a FlexusL instance with the same configuration as the image, or use a private image to change the OS.

Private images are created from servers on Huawei Cloud or other platforms or downloaded from third party platforms. They can be used by FlexusL only after being created or imported using Image Management Service (IMS).

Shared images

A shared image is a private image shared by others. It is a way of using private images flexibly.

NOTE:

IMS provides image sharing. You can share private images on the IMS console with other users in the same region.

OS Images

The following table lists the OS images supported by FlexusL.
