Integrate with the Image Service (glance)
=========================================

As an option, you can create images in Image Service (glance) and
store them using Object Storage (swift).

If there is an existing glance backend (for example,
cloud files) but you want to add swift to use as the glance backend,
you can re-add any images from glance after moving
to swift. Images are no longer available if there is a change in the
glance variables when you begin using swift.

**Procedure 5.3. Integrating Object Storage with Image Service**

This procedure requires the following:

-  Object Storage v2.2.0

#. Update the glance options in the
   ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` file:

   .. code-block:: yaml

       # Glance Options
       glance_default_store: swift
       glance_swift_store_auth_address: '{{ keystone_service_internalurl }}'
       glance_swift_store_container: glance_images
       glance_swift_store_endpoint_type: internalURL
       glance_swift_store_key: '{{ glance_service_password }}'
       glance_swift_store_region: RegionOne
       glance_swift_store_user: 'service:glance'


   -  ``glance_default_store``: Set the default store to ``swift``.

   -  ``glance_swift_store_auth_address``: Set to the local
      authentication address using the
      ``'{{ keystone_service_internalurl }}'`` variable.

   -  ``glance_swift_store_container``: Set the container name.

   -  ``glance_swift_store_endpoint_type``: Set the endpoint type to
      ``internalURL``.

   -  ``glance_swift_store_key``: Set the glance password using
      the ``{{ glance_service_password }}`` variable.

   -  ``glance_swift_store_region``: Set the region. The default value
      is ``RegionOne``.

   -  ``glance_swift_store_user``: Set the tenant and user name to
      ``'service:glance'``.

#. Rerun the glance configuration plays.

#. Run the glance playbook:

   .. code-block:: shell-session

       # cd /opt/openstack-ansible/playbooks
       # openstack-ansible os-glance-install.yml --tags "glance-config"
