exporting Machine image to Storage (GCP/any) bucket

[amir24sep]

Hi All,

We have machine image (not image) created of a VM.

I am again specifying its not a disk image which contains the backup of boot disk. Its machine image which contains the backup of boot disk as well as external disk attached to VM.

We want to export it to a external storage (Could be a GCP bucket/S3) for future use.

Is there a way it can be done? I cant find any doc around it.

Thanks

Amir

Hi @amir24sep,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

You may refer to this documentation on how to create machine images in GCP. You may create it through the Console, Cloud Shell, and through REST API.

I hope this helps. Thank you. 😃
