This area shows the configured Images inside your account.
An Image is the last step in the Image Management creation process that typically starts from the ground upwards. You start with adding Resources to your account.
Image Creation Process
The process of creating an Image is as follows:
- Add Resources (e.g. PowerShell scripts, installation and configuration files)
- Assign these Resources to Provisioners
- Create Groups from Provisioners (e.g. Baseline Configuration)
- Create Roles out of multiple Groups (e.g. Citrix Server VDA or Web Server)
- Create a Operating System configuration item (e.g. Windows Server 2019 x64 in english)
- Define a Builder (e.g. build the image on AWS in eu-central-1 on a m5.xlarge instance)
- Put everything together to create an image template that can be used in a next step to provision your infrastructure
