Images

An image is an exact copy of the disk file system and its contents. From images you can cloud server or boot disks for cloud servers.

Can be used for:

  • ready-made images — images with pre-installed operating system prepared by Selectel specialists;
  • own images — images that can be uploaded to the image repository by yourself.

You can work with images in control panels with the help of OpenStack CLI or Terraform.

You can also use the following to create servers appendices.

Ready-made images

Ready images are prepared by Selectel specialists. For each ready image, the working environment is prepared, the necessary parameters are configured, and the image is built. The images are fully compatible with the cloud platform.

To see an up-to-date list of ready-made images, go to control panels: from the top menu, press ProductsCloud servers → click Create a server → block Source → click on the default source → tab Ready-made images.

Own images

If you need an image to create a cloud server that is not in the list of ready-made then you can upload your image in the image repository.

You can migrate servers from other cloud platforms or within the Selectel Cloud Platform using your own images, and clone cloud servers from disk images.

Image formats supported .aki, .ami, .ari, .iso, .raw, .qcow2, .vdi, .vhd, .vhdx and .vmdk. For some images in the format .ami (Amazon Machine Image images to start the server) requires additional image downloads .aki (Amazon's kernel image) and .ari (Amazon's RAM image).

Supported container formats .aki, .ami, .ari, .bare, .ova, .ovf.

Cost

Ready images are included in the price of cloud servers and are not paid additionally.

The cost of storing your own image depends on its size and pool in which it is uploaded. Storage of your own images is charged at cloud platform payment models.

Prices for image storage can be viewed at selectel.ru.
