Creating Images

You can use Huawei Cloud public images to create private images based on the ECSs and other cloud resources. When purchasing cloud resources, you are advised to select general computing S3 ECSs, and you need to select a public image. After deploying products you need on the purchased ECS, perform the following steps to create a private image.

Pay attention to the following information when purchasing an ECS required for image creation on Huawei Cloud:

General computing and general computing-plus ECSs are recommended. Memory-optimized, high-performance computing, disk-intensive, and GPU-accelerated ECSs are used by special products and are not recommended.
You can select ports to be opened in Security Group as required.

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.
