TPU Container Instance Image Management
The Image Management page is used to view and maintain official images, community images, and your custom images. Path: "Image Management" in the left navigation of the console.
Image Sources
- Official Images: Pre-installed environments provided by the platform, covering common Linux distributions and large model inference/training images (such as Qwen, Mistral, Llama, etc.), suitable for immediate use.
- Community Images: Public images shared by developers, which can be referenced directly or copied to your own image library for modification.
- My Images: Personal images uploaded by you or saved through instances, supporting multi-region retention and version management.
Common Operations
- Search and Filter: Enter the image name at the top and select the region, supporting fuzzy matching.
- View Details: Click the image name to view image details, including image version, creation time, size, source, etc.
- Edit Information: You can modify metadata such as image remarks and version numbers to distinguish different uses.
- Delete Image: Images no longer in use can be deleted from the My Images list to release storage quota (please confirm that they are not referenced by instances before deletion).
- Copy Image Address: Click the image address in any list to copy it, used for quick pasting when creating an instance.
- Save Instance as Image: If you need to solidify a running instance into an image, please refer to the operation instructions in TPU Container Instance Management.
Usage Suggestions
- Before deploying in a production environment, it is recommended to test based on official images and save as custom images to ensure environment consistency.
- For large models or multi-stage tasks, prioritize using official/community verified images to reduce build time.
- Image deletion is an irreversible operation. Please confirm that there are no instance dependencies and that it has been backed up to an offline repository.
