Image Statuses

Images in Glance can be in one of four statuses:

  • queued

    Denotes an image identifier has been reserved for an image in Glance (or more specifically, reserved in the registries Glance uses) and that no actual image data has yet to be uploaded to Glance

  • saving

    Denotes that an image's raw image data is currently being uploaded to Glance

  • active

    Denotes an image that is fully available in Glance

  • killed

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

Note

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)
