Creates an image cache. Image caches can accelerate image pulls and reduce instance startup time when you create an elastic container instance.
Description
- Precautions
- You are charged for creation of image caches. We recommend that you learn the relevant billing information in advance. For more information, see Billing.
- Before you create an image cache, you must estimate the total size of the images that you want to cache. If the total size of the images exceeds the specified cache size, the image cache cannot be created.
- When an image cache is being created, the system creates an intermediate elastic container instance and an intermediate enhanced SSD (ESSD) at performance level 1 (PL1). Do not delete the intermediate instance and the ESSD while the image cache is being created. If you delete the intermediate instance or the ESSD, the image cache cannot be created.
- A temporary local snapshot and a specific number of regular snapshots are generated during the creation of the image cache. Do not delete these snapshots. If you delete these snapshots, the image cache becomes invalid.
- If you use SDKs, SDK for Java 1.0.10 or later and SDK for Python 1.0.7 or later are supported.
- Usage notes
- You can configure AcrRegistryInfo-related parameters to pull images from Container Registry Enterprise Edition instances without using a password. When you use AcrRegistryInfo-related parameters to pull images from a Container Registry Enterprise Edition instance without using a password, you must specify the AcrRegistryInfo.N.InstanceId parameter.
- If the image cache that you created will be used to create more than 1,000 elastic container instances at a time, we recommend that you use the StandardCopyCount and FlashCopyCount parameters to create multiple temporary local snapshots and regular snapshots for the image cache. The multiple snapshots are billed based on incremental data. If no incremental data exists on the multiple snapshots, you are not charged for the multiple snapshots.

Request parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Action | String | Yes | CreateImageCache |
The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to CreateImageCache. |
| RegionId | String | Yes | cn-hangzhou |
The region ID of the image cache. |
| ZoneId | String | No | cn-hangzhou-g |
The zone ID of the image cache. |
| SecurityGroupId | String | Yes | sg-uf66jeqopgqa9hdn**** |
The ID of the security group. |
| VSwitchId | String | Yes | vsw-uf6h3rbwbm90urjwa**** |
The ID of the vSwitch. |
| ImageCacheName | String | Yes | testcache |
The name of the image cache. |
| EipInstanceId | String | No | eip-2zedsm5mfl3uhdj2d**** |
The ID of the elastic IP address (EIP). If you want to pull images over the Internet, make sure that the elastic container instance can access the Internet. You can configure an EIP or a NAT gateway for the elastic container instance to access the Internet. |
| ResourceGroupId | String | No | rg-aekzh43v***** |
The ID of the resource group. |
| ClientToken | String | No | 123e4567-xxx-xxx-xxxx-42665544xxxx |
The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can use the client to generate the value, but you must ensure that it is unique among different requests. The token can only contain ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How to ensure idempotence. |
| ImageCacheSize | Integer | No | 20 |
The size of the image cache. Unit: GiB. Default value: 20. |
| RetentionDays | Integer | No | 7 |
The retention period of the image cache. Unit: days. When the retention period ends, the image cache expires and is deleted. By default, image caches never expire. Note The image caches that fail to be created are only retained for one day.
|
| AutoMatchImageCache | Boolean | No | true |
Specifies whether to enable reuse of image cache layers. If you enable this feature, and the image cache that you want to create and an existing image cache contain duplicate image layers, the system reuses the duplicate image layers to create the new image cache. This accelerates the creation of the image cache. Valid values:
Default value: false. |
| Flash | Boolean | No | true |
Specifies whether to enable instant image cache. After you enable the feature, image caches can be created in an accelerated manner. Valid values:
Default value: false. Note The system automatically generates a temporary local snapshot for the image cache
during the use of the instant image cache feature. You are charged for the instant
use of the snapshot.
|
| Annotations | String | No | hide |
Comments. |
| PlainHttpRegistry | String | No | "harbor***.pre.com,192.168.XX.XX:5000,reg***.test.com:80" |
The domain name of the self-managed image repository. When you create an image cache by using an image in a self-managed image repository that uses the HTTP Protocol, you must specify this parameter. This way, Elastic Container Instance uses the HTTP protocol to pull the image. This can prevent the image from failing to pull due to different protocols. |
| InsecureRegistry | String | No | "harbor***.pre.com,192.168.XX.XX:5000,reg***.test.com:80" |
The domain name of the self-managed image repository. When you create an image cache by using an image in a self-managed image repository that uses a self-signed certificate, you must specify this parameter to skip the certificate authentication. This can prevent the image from failing to pull due to certificate authentication failures. |
| StandardCopyCount | Integer | No | 7 |
The number of regular snapshots. By default, the system creates one snapshot for each image cache. If an image cache is used to create multiple elastic container instances at a time, we recommend that you set this parameter to create multiple snapshots for the image cache. We recommend that you create one snapshot for creation of every 1,000 elastic container instances. Note If you set the Flash parameter to false, instant image cache is disabled. In this
case, only regular snapshots are generated during the creation of the image cache.
|
| FlashCopyCount | Integer | No | 7 |
The number of temporary local snapshots. By default, the system creates one snapshot for each image cache. If an image cache is used to create multiple elastic container instances at a time, we recommend that you set this parameter to create multiple snapshots for the image cache. We recommend that you create one snapshot for creation of every 1,000 elastic container instances. Note If you set the Flash parameter to true, instant image cache is enabled. During the
creation of the image cache, the system first creates a temporary local snapshot for
you to instantly use the snapshot. After the temporary local snapshot is created,
the system begins to create a regular snapshot. After the regular snapshot is created,
the temporary local snapshot is automatically deleted.
|
| ImageRegistryCredential.N.Password | String | No | password |

The key of tag N of the image cache. Valid values of N: 1 to 20. |
| Tag.N.Value | String | No | test |
The value of tag N of the image cache. Valid values of N: 1 to 20. |
| AcrRegistryInfo.N.Domain.N | String | No | test****-registry.cn-beijing.cr.aliyuncs.com |
Domain name N of Container Registry Enterprise Edition instance N. All domain names of instance N are displayed by default. You can specify domain names. Separate multiple domain names with commas (,). |
| AcrRegistryInfo.N.InstanceName | String | No | test**** |
The name of Container Registry Enterprise Edition instance N. |
| AcrRegistryInfo.N.InstanceId | String | No | cri-nwj395hgf6f3**** |
