Last updated: 2024-01-08 09:37:00

    Overview

    Features

    Image replication offers two options, Cross-region replication of custom images and Intra-region replication of shared images.
    Type
    Use Case
    Description
    Cross-region replication of custom image
    Deploy the same CVM instance across regions quickly.
    Copy a custom image to another region, and use the created copy to create a CVM in the new region.
    Intra-region replication of shared image
    Make a copy of a shared image and use it as a custom image.
    The created custom image is not subject to the limits of shared images.

    Limits

    Custom images can be replicated across regions, and shared images support intra-region replication.
    Regional limits:
    For now, image duplication is supported between two Chinese mainland regions, or two regions outside the Chinese mainland. If you want to copy an image from a Chinese mainland region to a region outside the Chinese mainland, and vice versa, please submit a ticket.
    Image replication is free of charge. But you need to pay for snapshot service for store the copied custom images.
    Image replication takes 10 to 30 minutes.
    Cross-region replication is not available for full images.
