When using ImagePropertiesFilter with multiple architectures inside the same deployment, it is possible that images can be uploaded without the hw_architecture property defined. This results in behaviour where the instance could be scheduled on any type of hypervisor, resulting in an instance that will successfully transition to ACTIVE but never properly run because of the difference in architecture. This makes the ImagePropertiesFilter problematic as most images are generally uploaded without the architecture property set because most documentation does not encourage doing that. The addition of this flag allows to make using the filter possible because it allows the deployer to assume a default architecture if the user did not supply one (assuming it would be the most common architecture in their deployment, such as x86_64) yet if the user wants a more specific architecture, they can do it in their image properties. In order to avoid a circular import loop, the references to the architecture field have been moved to a seperate module so that they can be properly and cleaned imported inside configuration.

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
