Rapid Deployment

Compared with the traditional manual deployment mode, the images that contain applications can be used to achieve rapid bulk deployment of ECSs for the same applications.

	Image Deployment	Manual Deployment
Duration	1-5 minutes	1-2 days
Process	Quickly create appropriate ECSs with the mature deployment scheme.	Select, install and test the appropriate OS, database, applications and plug-ins.
Security	Do security test and review by CT Cloud.	Depend on the ability of development and deployment personnel.
Applications	Public image: genuine OS, including the initialization components provided by CT Cloud.	Complete self-configuration with no need of basic settings.
	Custom image: quickly create software environment identical with ECS or back up the environment.

Security & Reliability

All public images have passed the security test and review by CT Cloud and are secure and reliable.

Public images cover mainstream OSs such as Windows, Ubuntu and CentOS, all of which are genuinely licensed, and are strictly tested to ensure the security and stability of images.

Image files are stored in redundancy mode at the backend to ensure high availability.

Flexible Use

Users can use standard public images provided by CT Cloud or create their own private images meeting special requirements or share images through other accounts.

In terms of how to use images, users can manage the lifecycle of images through the management Console and skilled users can manage the lifecycle of images through API, which depends on their requirements.

Images can be used to complete rapid deployment of servers, bulk migration to the cloud, backup of server runtime environment, rapid bulk replication after environment modification and other applications.
