+Image Deletion

Image Deletion

Removal of a virtual machine image in a cloud infrastructure (ex: Azure Compute Service Images DELETE) Examples:

  • Azure Compute Service Image Deletion
  • Example: Deleting a virtual machine image using Azure CLI: az image delete --name MyImage --resource-group MyResourceGroup
  • AWS EC2 AMI (Amazon Machine Image) Deletion
  • Example: Deregistering an AMI in AWS: aws ec2 deregister-image --image-id ami-1234567890abcdef0
  • Google Cloud Compute Engine Image Deletion
  • Example: Deleting a custom image in Google Cloud: gcloud compute images delete my-custom-image
  • VMware vSphere
  • Example: Deleting a VM image/template from a vSphere environment:

This data component can be collected through the following measures:

Enable Cloud Platform Logging

  • Azure: Enable "Activity Logs" to capture DELETE requests to Microsoft.Compute/images.
  • AWS: Use AWS CloudTrail to monitor DeregisterImage or DeleteSnapshot API calls.
  • Google Cloud: Enable "Cloud Audit Logs" to track image deletion events under compute.googleapis.com/images.

API Monitoring

  • Monitor API activity to track the deletion of images using:
  • AWS SDK/CLI DeregisterImage or DeleteSnapshot.
  • Azure REST API DELETE operations for images.
  • Google Cloud Compute Engine APIs for image deletion.

Cloud SIEM Integration

  • Ingest logs into a centralized SIEM platform for monitoring and alerting:

Event Correlation

  • Correlate image deletion events with unusual account activity or concurrent unauthorized operations.
