Glance Image Store
==================

The Glance project provides services for discovering, registering, and
retrieving virtual machine images. Glance has a RESTful API that allows
querying of VM image metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.

Usage
=====

Import new public image

.. code-block:: yaml

    glance image-create --name 'Windows 7 x86_64' --is-public true --container-format bare --disk-format qcow2  < ./win7.qcow2

Change new image's disk properties

.. code-block:: yaml

    glance image-update "Windows 7 x86_64" --property hw_disk_bus=ide

Change new image's NIC properties

.. code-block:: yaml

    glance image-update "Windows 7 x86_64" --property hw_vif_model=rtl8139

Documentation and Bugs
============================

To learn how to deploy OpenStack Salt, consult the documentation available
online at:

    https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OpenStackSalt

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to
the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party
operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for
reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker,
available at:

    http://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-salt

Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Salt project should always base
their work on the latest formulas code, available from the master GIT
repository at:

    https://git.openstack.org/cgit/openstack/salt-formula-glance

Developers should also join the discussion on the IRC list, at:
