Cloud Architect Design Tools:Use a custom image to create an ECS instance

Prerequisites

A custom image is created in the desired region. For information about how to create a custom image, see Create a custom image.

Procedure

1. Log on to the CADT console.

2. In the upper part of the page that appears, choose Create > Create > Application. The following example demonstrates how to create an ECS instance in the scenario of a single region and a single zone.

   Operations: 1. In the left-side navigation pane, click Quick Start. Find the Single Region, Single Zone suite in the Quick Start drop-down list and drag the suite to the canvas.

   2. Enter ECS in the search box and drag the ECS node to the vswitch section on the canvas.

3. Double-click the resource icons to configure the parameters for a region, a virtual private cloud (VPC), and a vSwitch in sequence. When you configure the ECS instance, take note of the following parameters:

   • Mirror: Double-click the ecs icon on the canvas. In the panel that appears, select Custom Image from the Mirror drop-down list.

   • Mirror Version: CADT automatically synchronizes all custom images in the region. Select the desired image.

     Note

     Data synchronization takes time. If you cannot find the desired custom image, wait 5 to 10 minutes, refresh the page, and then try again.

     

4. After you complete the configurations, save the application and follow the on-screen instructions to deploy the application.
