Characteristics

A VPC vRouter image encapsulates network services and can be used to create VPC vRouters. However, a VPC vRouter image cannot be used to create VM instances.

An LB image encapsulates dedicated-performance load-balancing services and can be used to create load balancer instances. However, an LB image cannot be used to create VM instances. A load balancer instance is a custom VM instance dedicated to providing load balancing services.
