What is SDN Image?

SDN image: An SDN image encapsulates an SDN software and can be used to create SDN instances.

On the displayed page, set the following parameters:
  • Name: Enter a name for the SDN image.
  • Description: Optional. Enter a description for the SDN image.
  • Image Usage: Display SDN instance.
  • CPU Architecture: Select a CPU architecture for the SDN image. SDN instances created from the SDN image inherit this architecture.
  • OS: Select a OS for the SDN image. Supported OS types vary from different CPU architecture.
  • Image Storage: Select an image storage to store the SDN image.
