An Image is a captured copy of a VM's disks — or of a single Volume — stored in the platform. Use it to back up a VM or volume and to restore or clone from that captured state. (Base OS images — such as Ubuntu Server 24.04 — are referenced separately by an osImageId string on a Volume, not by an Image resource.)
• Source — either the VM whose disks are captured (spec.vmId) or a single Volume (spec.volumeId); exactly one of the two must be set
• Captured volumes — the volumes contained in this image, one record per source-VM disk (device index, size, offer, OS image)
• Restore — create a VM from an image by setting the VM's imageId to this image; a Volume can likewise be restored via its imageId (only from an image captured from a Volume)
• Automation — capture images on a recurring schedule with an Image Schedule
| UI Name | API / kc name | Terraform name | Optional | Format | Default | Is read only | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Source VM | spec.vmId |
spec.vm_id |
Yes | ULID (nullable) — references a VM | — | No | The VM whose disks are captured into this image. Exactly one of vmId/volumeId must be set |
| Source Volume | spec.volumeId |
spec.volume_id |
Yes | ULID (nullable) — references a Volume | — | No | A single Volume to capture into this image. Exactly one of vmId/volumeId must be set |
| Size (bytes) | status.sizeBytes |
status.size_bytes |
— | integer | — | Yes | Total image size in bytes |
| Volumes | status.volumes |
status.volumes |
— | array of objects | — | Yes | Per-volume details of the volumes contained in this image. In Terraform this is a typed attributes list, one entry per volume, each with device_index/offer_id/os_image_id/size_bytes fields |
| Is VM image | status.isVmImage |
status.is_vm_image |
— | boolean | — | Yes | Whether this image was captured from a VM. Determines whether the image can be used to restore/create a VM — only a volume-sourced image (false) can restore a Volume via its imageId |
