Image Statuses
==============

Images in Glance can be in one the following statuses:

* ``queued``

  The image identifier has been reserved for an image in the Glance
  registry. No image data has been uploaded to Glance and the image
  size was not explicitly set to zero on creation.

* ``saving``

  Denotes that an image's raw data is currently being uploaded to Glance.
  When an image is registered with a call to `POST /images` and there
  is an `x-image-meta-location` header present, that image will never be in
  the `saving` status (as the image data is already available in some other
  location).

* ``active``

  Denotes an image that is fully available in Glance. This occurs when
  the image data is uploaded, or the image size is explicitly set to
  zero on creation.

* ``deactivated``

  Denotes that access to image data is not allowed to any non-admin user.
  Prohibiting downloads of an image also prohibits operations like image
  export and image cloning that may require image data.

* ``killed``

  Denotes that an error occurred during the uploading of an image's data,
  and that the image is not readable.

* ``deleted``

  Glance has retained the information about the image, but it is no longer
  available to use. An image in this state will be removed automatically
  at a later date.

* ``pending_delete``

  This is similar to `deleted`, however, Glance has not yet removed the
  image data. An image in this state is not recoverable.

   This is a representation of how the image move from one status to the next.

   * Add location from zero to more than one.

   * Remove location from one or more to zero by PATCH method which is only
     supported in v2.

Task Statuses
==============

Tasks in Glance can be in one the following statuses:

* ``pending``

  The task identifier has been reserved for a task in the Glance.
  No processing has begun on it yet.

* ``processing``

  The task has been picked up by the underlying executor and is being run
  using the backend Glance execution logic for that task type.

* ``success``

  Denotes that the task has had a successful run within Glance. The ``result``
  field of the task shows more details about the outcome.

* ``failure``

  Denotes that an error occurred during the execution of the task and it
  cannot continue processing. The ``message`` field of the task shows what the
  error was.
