Image Management Service (IMS)
Create and manage system images with ease.
Image Management Service (IMS) is a powerful and important tool, especially for the users who prefer to use system images other than the predefined system images. You can create a system disk image or data disk image from a disk or an external image file. You can also create a full-ECS image from an ECS with data disks or a backup of an ECS.
Advantages
Easier to Manage
IMS allows you to create Virtual Machines using publicly available image or to bring in your own private/external image file and deploy services in batches.
Secure
Using a reinforced security system, IMS ensures that the images are stored securely and are available across every region.
Trouble-free Imports
Private images can be easily imported and used for creating servers, simplifying service migration.
Flexible
The images can be managed through the management console or the APIs.
Functions
