Image Management

Create Image

The platform supports the creation of two sources:

From Instance

When you want to export all the data on the instance system disk, you can use the Create Image operation, which supports exporting the instance as a Docker image.

There are two ways to create an image from an instance:

Option 1: In the Console, go to the My Images (opens in a new tab) section and find the "New Image" button. "Select The Image Source" choose "From Instance";

Option 2: Go to the Instances (opens in a new tab) page and locate the instance you want to create. Click “More - Create Image”.

The region supported by the image is the region where the instance is located by default. When you deploy instances later, they are only supported in this region.

From Container Registry

Bundle your runtime environment into an image and upload it to an image repository ahead of time. Then, paste the image URL into the Container Image field.

In the Console, go to the My Images (opens in a new tab) section and find the "New Image" button. "Select The Image Source" choose "From Container Registry".

RunC.AI supports both public and private image repositories (with optional access credentials). If you’re using a private image repository, you must provide Container Registry Credentials, which can be added under Settings > Container Registry Auth. (opens in a new tab)

You need to specify the region where the image is pulled. For subsequent instance deployment, you can only select the region where the image is located.

Use Image to create an instance

Creating an image takes some time, depending on the size of the image. When the image is built and the status is "Available", the image can be used to deploy an instance.

There are two ways to use the Image to create an instance

Option 1 : In the Console, go to the My Images (opens in a new tab) section and locate the image you want to deploy. Click "Deploy";

Option 2: Go to the Explore (opens in a new tab) page, click Change Image and find the image you need to deploy.

Public Image

We strongly recommend that you publish your images so that you can share your work. After publishing, they will be displayed in the image community, (opens in a new tab) and all users can view, deploy, and share them, helping your work gain visibility and appreciation. In the Console, go to the My Images (opens in a new tab) section and locate the image you want to publish, click "Publish".

When your image is a POD image and is available, you can choose to publish it. You need to fill in some necessary information, such as image description, scene classification, cover image, readme, etc., in order to make your image easier to use and share with other users. In addition, we strongly recommend that you fill in more information correctly, so that it is more convenient for others to use.

• To ensure your image is easy to adopt, we recommend keeping your README concise and beginner-friendly.

• If your image requires any external dependencies, please include clear setup instructions within the README. This guidance helps others successfully deploy your template and ensures a smooth experience.

• The platform will review the image you publish. To ensure that the image is available and compliant, please wait patiently for the review results.
