Manage an image cache

Create an image cache by calling an API operation

You can call the CreateImageCache API operation to create an image cache. The following table describes the parameters of the operation. For more information, see CreateImageCache.

When you create an image cache, you can use Container Registry (ACR) Enterprise Edition to pull images without the need to enter the password. The following table describes the parameters configured to use ACR. For more information, see Configure password-free access to pull images from a Container Registry Enterprise Edition instance.

The following example shows how to use an SDK for Python and the ACR Enterprise Edition to pull images without the need to enter the password when an image cache is created.

from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient
from aliyunsdkeci.request.v20180808.CreateImageCacheRequest import CreateImageCacheRequest

client = AcsClient('', '', 'cn-beijing')

request = CreateImageCacheRequest()
request.set_accept_format('json')

request.set_SecurityGroupId("sg-2zeh4cev9y7ulbr****")
request.set_VSwitchId("vsw-2zejlv7xjnw61w6zr****")
request.set_ImageCacheName("acr-test-cache")
request.set_Images([
    "****-registry-vpc.cn-beijing.cr.aliyuncs.com/eci_test/nginx:1.0",
])
request.set_AcrRegistryInfos([
  {
    "InstanceId": "cri-nwj395hgf6f*****",
    "RegionId": "cn-beijing"
  }
])

response = client.do_action_with_exception(request)
print(str(response, encoding='utf-8'))
