CLB supports instance cloning. This feature allows you to easily copy the configuration of existing CLB instances, including instance attributes, listeners, security groups, and logs.
Restrictions
Instance attribute restrictions
CLB instances without any billable items cannot be cloned.
Classic CLB instances and CLB with Anti-DDoS Pro cannot be cloned.
Classic network-based instances cannot be cloned.
Anycast instances cannot be cloned.
IPv6 NAT64 instances cannot be cloned.
Blocked or frozen instances cannot be cloned.
Before cloning an instance, make sure all certificates used on the instance are valid. Cloning will fail if there are any expired certificates.
Listener restrictions
A CLB instance associated with over 50 listeners cannot be cloned.
Shared instances with the public network bandwidth cap exceeding 2 Gbps cannot be cloned.

3. In the pop-up window, enter the name of the target instance and click OK.
