Create a private image
To create a private image, you first need a virtual machine and a disk attached to it. See Create a virtual machine.
Navigate to the virtual machine details page, find the disk that you want to create an image from and click "Create image from disk".
Please note that private images are charged at the storage rate for the data center that your image will be stored in.
- Image ID - this is the name of your image, it must be unique
- Description - this is a description of your image
Once you are happy, click "Create image" and your private image created.
When your image has been created, you will see a confirmation message and be able to Create a new virtual machine using this disk image.
Viewing all images
From the images page, you can see all of the private and public images available to you.
- For private images you'll be able to see the image ID, description, data center and size of the image.
- For public images you'll be able to see the image name, ID, and size of the image.
Public images are available at all data centers.
Delete a private image
To delete a private image, click "Delete" on the private image that you want to delete.
