+    <para>The OpenStack Image service provides users the ability to discover,
+        register, and retrieve virtual machine images. Also known as
+        the glance project, the Image service offers a REST API that
+        allows querying of virtual machine image metadata as well as
+        retrieval of the actual image. Virtual machine images made
+        available through the Image service can be stored in a variety
+        of locations from simple filesystems to object-storage systems
+        like the OpenStack Object Storage service.</para>
