What Do I Do If I Cannot Find a Desired Image?

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 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, you can create a private image as follows:
  1. 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.
• If the image belongs to another tenant, ask the tenant to share it with you. For details about image sharing, see Sharing Specified Images.
