<para>
Creates new image in the Cloud.
There are two standard ways to create an image in the Cloud:
1. Create an image from an object in the Cloud Storage;
2. Create an image from an existing cloud instance.
For the 1st approach next parameters are required:
bucket-name - cloud bucket name where an object is located;
object-name - name of object in the bucket;
display-name - name for new image in the Cloud.
For the 2d approach next parameters are required:
instance-id - Id of instance in the Cloud;
display-name - name for new image in the Cloud.

<title>cloud image import</title>
<remark role="help-copy-synopsis"/>
<para>
Import an image with a specified id from the Cloud to a local host.
The result is an object in the local "temp" folder on the local host.
Possible approach may have two general steps:
1. Create an object from an image in the Cloud Storage;
2. Download the object to the local host.
So the next parameters may be required:
bucket-name - cloud bucket name where the object will be created;
object-name - name of object in the bucket. if parameter "object-name" is absent a displayed image name is used.
If the first step isn't needed only the parameter "id" is required.

<para>
Name of created object in the bucket. The downloaded object will have this name.

<refsect2 id="vboxmanage-cloudimage-export">
<title>cloud image export</title>
<remark role="help-copy-synopsis"/>
<para>
Export an existing VBox image with a specified uuid from a local host to the Cloud.
The result is new image in the Cloud.
Possible approach may have two general steps:
1. Upload VBox image to the Cloud Storage;
2. Create an image from the uploaded object.
So the next parameters may be required:
bucket-name -cloud bucket name where the object will be uploaded;
object-name - name of object in the bucket. If parameter "object-name" is absent the image id is used;
display-name - name for new image in the Cloud.
If the first step isn't needed the parameters "id" and "display-name" are required only.
