Clone an Image Version as an Amazon WorkSpaces Core Bundle Custom Image

You can create a new image version in Horizon Cloud by cloning an existing Amazon WorkSpaces Core Bundle Custom Image image version as an incremented major or minor version. This cloning operation is supported only for image versions sourced from an Amazon WorkSpaces Core Bundle Custom Image image. When you have published these cloned image versions successfully to your chosen targets, you can use them to create pool groups.

Prerequisites

Before you clone an image version as an Amazon WorkSpaces Core Bundle Custom Image, ensure the following:

• The parent image is an Amazon WorkSpaces Core Bundle Custom Image and has been published. See Clone an Image as an Amazon WorkSpaces Core Bundle Custom Image.

   Note: You can create up to 99 major versions, and up to 99 minor versions under any major version, for a combined total of 99 major and minor versions.
