Images & Snapshots

This dashboard page is located under the Manage Compute -> Images &amp; Snapshots page. Here you can manage the images for instances and manage snapshots of instances and volumes.

Images
This section lists the project, "shared with me" and public images available to you. The buttons on the upper right will allow you to create new images and delete those you don't need any longer.

Details on creating images to follow.

Instance Snapshots
Instance snapshots can be created on the Manage Compute -> Instances page, by clicking the "Create Snapshot" button on the right side of the list of instances. These snapshots can be used in place of the above images for creating new instances.

Volume Snapshots
Volume snapshots can be created on the Manage Compute -> Volumes page, by clicking the "More" drop down on the right side of the list of volumes, then selecting "Create Snapshot". These snapshots can be used to create new volumes with the contents of the snapshot.
