Creates a custom image based on a snapshot of a simple application server.
Operation description
A custom image is created from a snapshot of a simple application server. You can use a custom image to create multiple simple application servers that have the same configurations. You can also share custom images to ECS and use the shared images to create ECS instances or replace the OSs of existing ECS instances. For more information about custom images, see Overview of custom images.
You must create a system disk snapshot of a simple application server before you create a custom image based on the snapshot. For more information, see CreateSnapshot .
Before you create a custom image, take note of the following items:
- The custom image and the corresponding simple application server must reside in the same region.
- The maximum number of custom images that you can create is 3 times the number of simple application servers that you have, but cannot exceed 15.
- You can directly create a custom image only based on the system disk snapshot of a simple application server. If you want a custom image to contain the data on the data disk of the simple application server, you must select a data disk snapshot in addition to a system disk snapshot when you create the custom image.
- If a simple application server is released due to expiration or refunds, the custom images that are created based on the server are also released.
- Resetting the system or changing the image of a simple application server clears the disk data on the server. Back up the data as needed.
