Sharing Custom Images Across Tenancies

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can use image import and export to share custom images across tenancies so that you don't need to recreate the image manually in each tenancy. You create the image in one of the tenancies, and then export the image, making it available for import in additional tenancies.

These are the high-level tasks:

  1. Export the image to an Object Storage bucket. See Exporting an Image to an Object Storage Bucket.

  2. Create a preauthenticated request with read-only access for the image in the bucket. See Using Preauthenticated Requests.

  3. In the destination tenancy, import the image. Use the preauthenticated request URL as the Object Storage URL. See Importing an Image from a URL.
