==================================
Welcome to Glance's documentation!
==================================
The Image service (glance) project provides a service where users can upload
and discover data assets that are meant to be used with other services.
This currently includes images and metadata definitions.
Glance image services include discovering, registering, and
retrieving virtual machine (VM) images. Glance has a RESTful API that allows
querying of VM image metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.
.. include:: deprecation-note.inc
VM images made available through Glance can be stored in a variety of
locations from simple filesystems to object-storage systems like the
OpenStack Swift project.
