Brian Waldon 006254c505 Allow server-side validation of client ssl certs
This adds a 'ca_file' config option that points to a local
CA cert that will be used to verify certs provided by
connecting clients. The 'ca_file' option is only used if the
server is already properly configured to to use SSL - that
means having a valid 'cert_file' and 'key_file'. If no 'ca_file'
is provided, the behavior will remain the same - the server
will still provide its cert to clients, but it will ignore
certs sent back from those clients.

Glance

Glance is a project that defines services for discovering, registering, retrieving and storing virtual machine images. The discovery and registration responsibilities are handled by the glance-registry component while the retrieval and storage responsiblities are handled by the glance-api component.

Quick Start

If you'd like to run trunk, you can clone the git repo:

git clone git@github.com:openstack/glance.git

Install Glance by running:

python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

By default, glance-registry will use a SQLite database. If you'd like to use MySQL, or make other adjustments, you can modify the glance.cnf file (see documentation for more details).

Now that Glance is installed, you can start the service. The easiest way to do that is by using the glance-control utility which runs both the glance-api and glance-registry services:

glance-control all start

Once both services are running, you can now use the glance tool to register new images in Glance.

glance add name="My Image" < /path/to/my/image

With an image registered, you can now configure your IAAS provider to use Glance as its image service and begin spinning up instances from your newly registered images.
