Creating the Image in Image Builder

You must have an existing blueprint to use for creating an image.

The following task describes how to create a custom image based on a specified blueprint and how to download the resulting composer image.

Create the image with the blueprint specifications.
```
sudo composer-cli compose start myblueprint image-type
```
For a list of valid image types, see Image Types and Output Formats. Alternatively, type:
```
sudo composer-cli compose types
```
While the process is running in the background, the composer image's UUID is displayed.

Use the UUID to track the progress of the image building process with the following command:
```
sudo composer-cli compose info image-uuid
```
After the process ends, check the status of the image.
```
sudo composer-cli status image-uuid
```
The image's status should indicate FINISHED.

Download the image file.

sudo composer-cli compose image image-uuid

To download the image's metadata and logs, type:

sudo composer-cli compose [metadata|logs] image-uuid
