Uploading Images to the Image Service

Before uploading an image to the image service, you need to prepare the required VM image.

1. Import environment variables.

   source ~/.admin-openrc

2. Download the image. For example, the openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP2 VM image from the Huawei Mirrors website.

   wget --no-check-certificate https://mirrors.huaweicloud.com/openeuler/openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP2/virtual_machine_img/aarch64/openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP2-aarch64.qcow2.xz
   xz -d openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP2-aarch64.qcow2.xz

3. Query the virtual drive size of the image.

   qemu-img info openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP2-aarch64.qcow2

   In the command output, virtual size indicates the virtual drive size of the image.

   

4. Upload the image to the image service.

   openstack image create --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --file openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP2-aarch64.qcow2 --public $image_name

   

   Replace image_name with the name of the created image.
