Scenario

This section will provide you with detailed steps and methods on how to create a Windows private image via cloud server. In this section, you will learn how to create your own Windows private image on the Elastic Cloud Server to meet your specific application requirements and personalized configurations.

Prerequisites

· A cloud server running the Windows OS has been installed.

· Ensure that the cloud server NIC used to create the private image is set to DHCP to dynamically obtain the network address, which is satisfied by default;

Procedure

1. Log in to the Control Center and switch to the corresponding node;

2. Click Service List in the left navigation bar, select Computing > Image Management Service.

3. On the Private Image page, click Create Private Image.
