将 AWS 映像导入 softlayer

Question

是否可以直接将 AWS 映像导入到 softlayer 中？我知道我们可以下载 AWS 映像并导入到 softlayer，但正在寻找一些自动化的解决方案。

Answer 1

没有任何 Softlayer 的 API 方法可以自动完成所有过程，图像必须上传到您的任何对象存储帐户中，您可以使用 API 上传图像，这里有一些参考：

并查看有关如何处理大文件的文档

https://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/overview_large_objects.html

上传文件后，您可以使用 API 将其导入：

这里是使用 SOftlayer 的 Python 客户端的示例：
