Image Management Service (IMS)

Convenient

Create a private image from a cloud server or an external image file to batch create cloud servers.

Secure

Store images in OBS buckets with redundant storage for high data durability.

Flexible

Manage images easily through the management console or using APIs.

Uniform

Use images to uniformly deploy or upgrade applications for consistent system environments.

Why Huawei Cloud IMS?

Simplified Deployment

Simplified Deployment

  • Deploy services on cloud servers faster and easier.

  • Create private images from cloud servers or external image files as you need.

  • Easily transfer private images between accounts, regions, or cloud platforms.

High Reliability and Durability

High Reliability and Durability

  • Use public images of mainstream OSs (such as Ubuntu and CentOS) that have been authorized and thoroughly tested.

  • Store image files on Object Storage Service (OBS) with redundancy for high data reliability and durability.

  • Encrypt private images using the envelope encryption provided by Key Management Service (KMS).

Flexible Use

Flexible Use

  • Manage images through the management console or using APIs.

  • Use a public image to deploy a standard environment, or use a private or Marketplace image to deploy a custom environment.

  • Use images to migrate servers to the cloud or in the cloud, or to back up server running environments.

Efficient O&M

Efficient O&M

  • Manage and maintain your images using a self-service platform.

  • Batch deploy application systems to improve O&M efficiency and ensure environmental consistency.

  • Use public images compliant with industry standards. Pre-installed components only include clean installs, and kernels from well-known third-party vendors make it easier to transfer images between clouds.
