External Image File Formats and Supported OSs¶
External File Formats¶
Image files in VMDK, VHD, QCOW2, RAW, VHDX, QED, VDI, QCOW, ZVHD2, or ZVHD format can be used to create private images. Select whichever format best meeting your requirements.
Supported OSs¶
When you upload an external image file to an OBS bucket on the management console, the OS contained in the image file will be checked. Table 1 lists the OSs supported by external image files.
If the OS cannot be identified or is not supported:
For Windows, Other_Windows (64_bit) or Other_Windows (32_bit) will be selected during image registration.
For Linux, Other_Linux (64_bit) or Other_Linux (32_bit) will be selected during image registration.
Note
Uploading image files containing OSs not listed in Table 1 may fail. You are advised to contact the customer service before uploading these image files.
For details about the formats and OSs supported for BMS images, see Bare Metal Server Private Image Creation Guide.
You can only use external image files containing Windows 10 64bit or Windows 7 Enterprise 64bit to create ECSs on a Dedicated Host (DeH).
