CreateImage

post

/20160918/images

Create a boot disk image for the specified instance or import an exported image from the Object Storage service.

When creating a new image, you must provide the OCID of the instance you want to use as the basis for the image, and the OCID of the compartment that contains that instance.

When importing an exported image from Object Storage, specify the source information in imageSourceDetails. When importing an image based on the namespace, bucket name, and object name, use ImageSourceViaObjectStorageTupleDetails. When importing an image based on the Object Storage URL, use ImageSourceViaObjectStorageUriDetails.

The launchMode parameter specifies the configuration mode for launching virtual machine (VM) instances. The configuration modes are:

NATIVE - VM instances launch with paravirtualized boot and VFIO devices. The default value for platform images.

EMULATED - VM instances launch with emulated devices, such as the E1000 network driver and emulated SCSI disk controller.

PARAVIRTUALIZED - VM instances launch with paravirtualized devices using VirtIO drivers.

CUSTOM - VM instances launch with custom configuration settings specified in the LaunchOptions parameter.

The bootVolumeType specifies the emulation type for the boot volume.

ISCSI - ISCSI attached block storage device.

SCSI - Emulated SCSI disk.

IDE - Emulated IDE disk.

VFIO - Direct attached Virtual Function storage. This is the default option for local data volumes on platform images.

PARAVIRTUALIZED - Paravirtualized disk. This is the default for boot volumes and remote block storage volumes on platform images.

You can optionally specify a display name for the image. It does not need to be unique, and you can change it. Avoid entering confidential information.

Supported Media Types

Header Parameters

• opc-retry-token: string
  Minimum Length: 1

  Maximum Length: 64

  A token that uniquely identifies a request so it can be retried in case of a timeout or server error without risk of executing that same action again. Retry tokens expire after 24 hours, but can be invalidated before then due to conflicting operations (for example, if a resource has been deleted and purged from the system, then a retry of the original creation request may be rejected).
