Simple Application Server:DeleteCustomImage

Last Updated:Oct 26, 2026

Deletes a specified custom image.

Operation description

If you no longer need a custom image, you can delete it. After a custom image is deleted, simple application servers created from the image cannot use it to reset their systems.

Note

If the custom image is a shared image, you must unshare the shared image before you delete it. After you unshare the shared image, you can no longer query the custom image in the Elastic Compute Service (ECS) console or by calling ECS API operations. If you still need to use the image in ECS, copy the image before you delete it. For more information, see Copy an image.

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
