Let's walk through a simple example. Suppose we have a virtual disk image
stored on our local filesystem that we wish to "upload" to Glance. This image
is stored on our local filesystem in ``/tmp/images/myimage.iso``.
We'd also like to tell Glance that this image should be called "My Image", and
stored on our local filesystem at ``/tmp/images/myimage.iso``. We'd also
like to tell Glance that this image should be called "My Image", and
that the image should be public -- anyone should be able to fetch it.

server IP number.::
