Image Management Service

Image Management Service (IMS) allows you to easily create and manage images. You can create a system disk image or data disk image from a disk or an external image file. You can also create a full-ECS image from an ECS with data disks or a backup of an ECS.

Image creation is Free. Only OBS storage space or CSBS backups you used incur fees.
