Tutorial: Copying an OMI
The goal of this tutorial is to copy an OUTSCALE Machine Image (OMI) between accounts within one Region or across different Regions.
Copying an OMI Within One Region
-
Grant the appropriate permissions for your OMI to the account you want to share the OMI with. For more information, see Modifying the Attributes of an OMI.
-
The other account must copy the OMI to their account. For more information, see Copying an OMI Within One Region.
The OMI is copied to the account of the other account. This copy is independent from the source OMI and has its own ID.
Copying an OMI Across Regions
Before you begin: Create an OUTSCALE Storage Object (OOS) bucket in the same Region as the source OMI. For more information, see Creating a Bucket.

Export the OMI to an OOS bucket
-
If you are using Cockpit, export the OMI to the OOS bucket. For more information, see Exporting an OMI to a Bucket.
-
If you are using the API, do the following actions:
-
Create a manifest file for the OMI export task. For more information, see Creating a Manifest File for an Image Export Task.
-
Upload the manifest file to the OOS bucket. For more information, see Uploading an Object to a Bucket.
-
Create a pre-signed URL for the manifest file. For more information, see Configuring a Pre-Signed URL.
-
Import the OMI From an OOS Bucket
-
If you are using the APIs, send the pre-signed URL of the manifest file to the other account.
-
The other account imports the OMI to their account. For more information, see Importing an OMI from a Bucket.
The OMI is copied to the account of the other account. This copy is independent from the source OMI and has its own ID.
