Some customers require Canaries within Huawei Cloud. Whilst we don't officially support Huawei Cloud, the following guide will have a Canary up and running in no time.
Grabbing the VMX disks from your Canary Console
Step 1: Log in to your Console.
Step 2: Add Canary
Click the + Add icon and click Add Canary.
Step 3: Add VMWare Canary
Click Add VMware Canary.
Step 4: Download disk files
Download and extract the disk files (vmdk's) from your Console.
Click Download and then click VMX to begin the download.
Unzip the archive containing your Canary disks.
$ unzip VirtualCanary_d031f88e_Template_VMX.zip
Archive: VirtualCanary_d031f88e_Template_VMX.zip

Upload the VMDKs from above to Huawei Cloud.
Head over to the Object Storage Service.
Create a bucket and upload the VMDKs from above. Use the standard storage class.
Confirm your VMDKs are uploaded to the bucket.
Step 6: Create System and Data Disks
Head over to Image Management Service and create both a System disk image and a Data disk image from the VMDKs uploaded to the bucket.
Select Private Images and use the Image importing feature to create the System disk image and Data disk image.
Use *disk1.vmdk to create the System disk image and *disk2.vmdk to create the Data disk image (Disk1 will also be notably larger than disk2).
Step 7: Create a Canary instance
Head over to Elastic Cloud Server.
Create an instance with at minimum 1vCPU and 2GiB memory. Add both the previously created system disk and data disk.
Follow the wizard, select Next to complete the setup.
