Cloud Phone:Manage custom images

Last Updated:Feb 28, 2026

Cloud Phone supports two types of images: system images and custom images. System images are provided by Alibaba Cloud and can only be queried and used. Custom images are images that you create from your Cloud Phone instances. You can create, query, use, and delete custom images.

This topic describes how to create, modify, distribute, and delete custom images in the Cloud Phone console.

Limits

  • You can create a maximum of 10 custom images. If you reach this limit, delete existing custom images before you create new ones.

Prerequisites

  1. Log on to the Cloud Phone console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Manage Resource > Image.

  3. On the Image page, click the Custom Image tab.

Note

You can search for images by image ID or image name.

  1. On the Custom Image tab, click Create Image.

  2. In the Create Image panel, configure the following settings, and then click OK.
