Conventional Thinking
Image replication feature helps users deploy the same CVM instance across regions quickly. You can copy a custom image to another region, and use the created copy to create a CVM in the new region.
Instruction
- The copied image must be a custom image. You need to create a custom image first. For details, see Creating Custom Image.
- The waiting time for copying the image is 10 to 30 minutes.
Methods
By Console
- Log in to the CVM Console.
- In the left sidebar, click Images to enter the image management page.
- Select the region where the original image you want to copy resides, and click the Custom Image tab.
- Find the instance whose image needs to be copied, click More > Cross-Region replication.
- In the pop-up window, select the regions where the image will be copied to and click OK.
After the copying is completed, the image list in the destination regions will display images with the same name and different IDs. - Switch to the target region for replication. In the image list under the region, select the successfully replicated image and click Create CVM to create the same CVM instance.
