Create an ECS

Users can select appropriate public images, private images or shared images according to service requirements and create an ECS through the images. Public images are managed by CT Cloud. Users can only view public images and cannot modify or delete the images; private images are visible to only users and can be edited, shared or deleted; shared images are visible to only uses sharing and shared. Sharing users can share images or cancel sharing and shared users can accept or reject private images shared by other users.

Create a Private Image

User-defined private images come from three sources:

Creation through the Web Console: Log in to the ECS Console, select an ECS (in the power-off state) to be mirrored as a private image, and specify the image name and description to create the private image. The private image is visible only in the area where the selected ECS is located.

Upload by users themselves: Upload of private images by users themselves is available on CT-OOS (native version) type I. Users can upload private images created by themselves to the resource pools with OOS (native version) type I.

Upload offline: If a user wants to import images created in the offline environment into the CT Cloud resource pools, the user can ask CT Cloud Customer Service to scan and inspect the images provided by the user and upload the images to the designated area. After the images are uploaded, the user can view and manage the private images in the CT Cloud Console.

Private Image Management

Private images are visible to only users. Through the CT Cloud Console, users can manage private images, including querying, modifying and deleting private images, and create ECSs through private images.

Private Image Sharing

By sharing images, users can share their private images with other users in the same resource pool of the public cloud. When a user is the provider of a shared image, the user can share the specified image, cancel the shared image, add or delete the image to a shared tenant.
