This adds some documentation for creating and uploading signed images. The only other documentation that exists seems to require the use of python for parts of the image creation process, which may not be totally user friendly. Change-Id: I5e4c92c865edd6429986565fe46fbb60756e0d68

Welcome to Glance's documentation!
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
The 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 images. Glance has a RESTful API that allows
|
|
querying of VM image metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Glance, as with all OpenStack projects, is written with the following design
|
|
guidelines in mind:
|
|
|
|
* **Component based architecture**: Quickly add new behaviors
|
|
* **Highly available**: Scale to very serious workloads
|
|
* **Fault tolerant**: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
|
|
* **Recoverable**: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
|
|
* **Open standards**: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
|
|
