Elastic Compute Service:Overview

Last Updated:Dec 13, 2024

Alibaba Cloud provides fully licensed public images to ensure a secure and stable operating environment for applications that are deployed on Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances. This topic describes the types, operating system versions, and image families of public images.

Types of public image

The following table describes the types of public images provided by Alibaba Cloud. You can use public images to create ECS instances free of charge, except for Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server public images. For more information, see the Image fees section of the "Image overview" topic.

Type of public images

Description

Technical support

Alibaba Cloud Linux images

Alibaba Cloud Linux images are custom, proprietary operating system images provided by Alibaba Cloud for ECS instances. Alibaba Cloud Linux images are thoroughly tested to ensure their security, stability, and proper startup and operation.

Alibaba Cloud provides technical support to help you resolve issues that may occur when you use Alibaba Cloud Linux images.

Third-party images and open source images

Third-party images and open source images are thoroughly tested and released by Alibaba Cloud to ensure security, stability, and proper startup and operation. The following third-party public images are supported:

  • Windows: Windows Server

  • Linux: Anolis OS, Ubuntu, CentOS, CentOS Stream, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian, openSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, FreeBSD, CoreOS, Fedora CoreOS, Fedora, Rocky Linux, and AlmaLinux

  • For open source public images, contact the corresponding open source communities to obtain technical support. Alibaba Cloud also provides technical support to help identify issues with the images.

  • For commercial images, Alibaba Cloud offers licenses and works with the corresponding operating system vendors to provide technical support.

Note
  • The preceding information, which is described in the Technical support column, is valid only before the end of life (EOL) of images. For information about how to obtain technical support after the EOL of an image, see Maintenance support for operating systems.

  • Alibaba Cloud provides release notes for public images to introduce new features and security patches of operating systems. For more information, see Release notes. When you select a public image on the ECS instance buy page, the latest version of the image is provided. If you want to use an earlier version of a public image, you can call the RunInstances operation to specify the image ID.

  • Alibaba Cloud also synchronizes new features and security patches from open source communities and operating system vendors to Alibaba Open Source Image Site. You can obtain new features and install security patches based on your business requirements.

  • Alibaba Cloud helps you ensure cloud security. Alibaba Cloud ensures the security of the cloud platform, including the security of the hardware, software, and network. You are responsible for not introducing security risks to your ECS instances. You must properly manage operating systems, such as installing updates and security patches, installing secure applications and tools on the instances, and configuring security groups that Alibaba Cloud provides. For more information, see ECS instance security.

Alibaba Cloud Linux supports multiple instance types, including ECS Bare Metal Instance types. By default, Alibaba Cloud Linux is equipped with Alibaba Cloud CLI and other software packages to facilitate your use. If you want to change from other Linux distributions to Alibaba Cloud Linux images, create instances that use Alibaba Cloud Linux images or replace the operating systems (system disks) of existing instances. For more information, see Alibaba Cloud Linux.

Third-party images and open source images

Alibaba Cloud releases and updates third-party or open source public images on a regular basis. For more information, see Release notes for 2023. Alternatively, you can select a region in the ECS console and view all public images available in that region on the Public Images tab. For more information, see Find an image.

      Note
      • The CentOS project announced the end of life (EOL) for CentOS Linux. CentOS Linux public images provided by Alibaba Cloud are derived from the repositories provided by the CentOS project. When CentOS Linux reaches its EOL, Alibaba Cloud stops providing support for CentOS Linux. For more information, see Options for dealing with CentOS Linux end of life.

      • CentOS 6 and CentOS 8 reached EOL. Based on Linux community rules, all content has been removed from the CentOS 6 and CentOS 8 repository addresses. If you want to continue using specific installation packages of CentOS 6 and CentOS 8 during the transition period, you must change the repository addresses of CentOS 6 and CentOS 8. For more information, see How do I change CentOS 6 repository addresses? and Change CentOS 8 repository addresses.

      • To use a 32-bit operating system, select an instance type whose memory is less than or equal to 4 GiB. For more information, see the Operating system section of the "Select an image" topic.

      Note

      The Fedora CoreOS community announced that updates are no longer provided for CoreOS Container Linux starting May 26, 2020. Consequently, Alibaba Cloud issued the following announcements:

      • Starting May 26, 2020, Alibaba Cloud no longer provides technical support for ECS instances that run CoreOS Container Linux. However, you can continue to use existing ECS instances that run CoreOS Container Linux.

      • Starting September 30, 2020, you can no longer use CoreOS Container Linux public images that are provided by Alibaba Cloud to create ECS instances.

      • Starting May 26, 2020, existing instances that run CoreOS Container Linux can continue to use the operating system. However, no security patches are available because the operating system reached its end of life. For security reasons, we recommend that you no longer use CoreOS Container Linux images.

      • Alibaba Cloud released Fedora CoreOS public images. The Fedora CoreOS community recommends that you use Fedora CoreOS instead of CoreOS Container Linux.

      Note
      • When you create instances, images for different Red Hat versions are available only if you select an instance type from an instance family that is certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. For information about instance families that are certified on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, see Instance families supported by Red Hat images.

      • The prices of Red Hat Enterprise Linux images vary based on the instance types that you select. For information about Red Hat Enterprise Linux image prices, see Images.

      Note

      When you use the images, take note of the following items:

      • When you create an instance or replace the system disk of an instance, you can use only a key pair as logon credentials. You can use only the key pair that you initially configured for your instance to log on to the instance. You cannot change or unbind the key pair.

      • If you created an instance or replaced the system disk of an instance, you cannot reset the password of the instance.
