+Quick Guide to Getting Started with Glance
+==========================================
+
+Glance is a server that provides the following services:
+
+* Ability to store and retrieve virtual machine images
+* Ability to store and retrieve metadata about these virtual machine image
+* FUTURE: Convert a virtual machine image from one format to another
+* FUTURE: Help caching proxies such as Varnish or Squid cache machine images
+
+Communication with Glance occurs via a REST-like HTTP interface.
+
+However, Glance includes a Client class that makes working with Glance
+easy and straightforward.
+
+In the Cactus release, there will be also command-line tools for
+interacting with Glance.
+
+Overview of Glance Architecture
+-------------------------------
+
+There are two main parts to Glance's architecture:
+
+* Glance API server
+* Glance Registry server(s)
+
+Glance API Server
+*****************
+
+The API server is the main interface for Glance. It routes requests from
+clients to registries of image metadata and to its **backend stores**, which
+are the mechanisms by which Glance actually saves incoming virtual machine
+images.
+
+The backend stores that Glance can work with are as follows:
+
+* **Swift**
+
+  Swift is the highly-available object storage project in OpenStack. More
+  information can be found about Swift `here <http://swift.openstack.org>`_.
+
+* **Filesystem**
+
+  The default backend that Glance uses to store virtual machine images
+  is the filesystem backend. This simple backend writes image files to the
+  local filesystem.
+
+* **S3**
+
+  This backend allows Glance to store virtual machine images in Amazon's
+  S3 service.
+
+* **HTTP**
+
+  Glance can read virtual machine images that are available via
+  HTTP somewhere on the Internet.  This store is **readonly**
+
+Glance Registry Servers
+***********************
+
+Glance registry servers are servers that conform to the Glance Registry API.
+Glance ships with a reference implementation of a registry server that
+complies with this API (``bin/glance-registry``).
+
+
+Starting Up Glance's Servers
+----------------------------
+
+To get started using Glance, you must first start the Glance API server. 
+After installing Glance, starting up the Glance API server is easy. Simply
+start the ``glance-api`` program, like so::
+
+  $> glance-api
+
+Configuring the Glance API server
+*********************************
+
+There are a few options that can be supplied to the API server when
+starting it up:
+
+* ``verbose``
+
+  Show more verbose/debugging output
+
+* ``api_host``
+
+  Address of the host the registry runs on. Defaults to 0.0.0.0.
+
+* ``api_port``
+
+  Port the registry server listens on. Defaults to 9292.
+
+* ``default_store``
+
+  The store that the Glance API server will use by default to store
+  images that are added to it. The default value is `filesystem`, and
+  possible choices are: `filesystem`, `swift`, and `s3`.
+
+* ``filesystem_store_datadir``
+
+  Directory where the filesystem store can write images to. This directory
+  must be writeable by the user that runs ``glance-api``
+
+.. todo::
+
+Link to docs on the different stores when the documentation on Glance
+stores is complete.
