Programmatic "share as image service..."

[DarrenWiens2]

I'm sure this is ArcGIS Server 101, but what is the programmatic equivalent of right-clicking a mosaic dataset and choosing "Share as Image Service..."? I'm trying to publish multiple image services from mosaic datasets. Should I be looking for a geoprocessing tool, Python API, somewhere else? Any help appreciated!

You are probably looking for this: CreateImageSDDraft

This creates an .sddraft file, which can then be turned into an .sd file through the Stage Service tool, which can finally be published using the Upload Service Definition tool.
