Uploading an External Image File

You are advised to use OBS Browser+ to upload external image files to OBS buckets. For details, see OBS Browser+ Best Practices.

For how to download OBS Browser+, see https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/browsertg-obs/obs_03_1003.html.

  • The bucket file and the image to be registered must belong to the same region.
  • Only unencrypted external image files or those encrypted using SSE-KMS can be uploaded to an OBS bucket.
  • Only unencrypted ISO image files can be uploaded to an OBS bucket.
  • In an OBS bucket, only unencrypted external image files can use fast import.
  • The storage class of the OBS bucket must be Standard.
  • If you want to create a data disk image along with the system disk image, you also need to upload an image file containing data disks to the OBS bucket. You can create one system disk image and no more than three data disk images.
