An ECS Custom Image Captured from an Instance into an Image Family

An Alibaba Cloud custom image captured from an ECS instance into an image family, so instances and scaling groups that name the family get the newest image (no family has to be accepted by name). The snapshots the capture created are deleted with the image. Build the source clean and stop it first.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Golden Images on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.

Installing it

module "alicloud_image" {
  source  = "www.iac-bazaar.com/iac-bazaar/alicloud-image/alicloud"
  version = "1.0.0"
}

A registry token is required for the download itself. Installing through the registry protocol has the two credential steps.
