Create an image

post https://api.linode.com/{apiVersion}/images

Captures a private, gold-master image from a Linode disk.

📘

Captured images are stored using our Object Storage service. The region where the target image exists determines where the resulting image is stored.

If you create an image from an encrypted disk, the API doesn't encrypt the image. When you rebuild a compute instance from that image, the resulting disk will be automatically encrypted.

linode-cli images create \
  --label this_is_a_label \
  --description "A longer description \
    of the image" \
  --disk_id 123
