Image Replication¶
When Do I Need to Replicate an Image?¶
In-region replication
This is used for conversion between encrypted and unencrypted images or for enabling advanced features (such as fast ECS creation). For details, see Replicating Images.
How Long Does It Take to Replicate an Image?¶
The time required for replicating an image depends on the network transmission speed and the number of tasks in the queue.
How Will I Be Billed for Replicating Images?¶
In-region replication
The replicas of system disk and data disk images are stored in OBS buckets for free.
Note
Full-ECS images cannot be replicated within the same region.
How Do I Replicate an Image Across Regions and Accounts?¶
Replicate the image to the target region and share it with the target account. Then, the image will be displayed in the shared image list of the target account.
