Creating an ECS

Scenarios

An ECS with EVS disks is required.

An ECS can be created using a disk or image. This section uses an image as an example to describe how to create an ECS.

Involved APIs

Creating an ECS involves viewing flavors and AZs as well as creating EVS disks. The following APIs are required:

  • API for viewing details about ECS flavors

  • API for viewing details about images

  • API for viewing networks

  • API for creating and importing an SSH key pair

  • API for creating an ECS

  • API for viewing details about an ECS

Procedure

  1. Determine the ECS flavor.

    1. View ECS flavors.

      • API

        URI format: GET /v2/{tenant_id}/flavors/detail{?minDisk,minRam,is_public,sort_key,sort_dir}

        The fields following the question mark (?) are optional for viewing flavors. For details, see section Querying Details About ECS Flavors.

      • Request example

      URI format: POST /v2/{tenant_id}/servers

      For details about API constraints and request parameters, see section "Creating an ECS" in Elastic Cloud Server API Reference.

      Note

      In this example, the ECS is created using a specified image. Therefore,

      • In block_device_mapping_v2, set source_type to image, uuid to the image ID, destination_type to volume, and boot_index to 0.

      • The volume_size must be greater than or equal to the minimum value specified in the image metadata.
