Image Service
Compute relies on an external image service to store virtual
machine images and maintain a catalog of available images. By
default, Compute is configured to use the OpenStack Image Service
(Glance), which is currently the only supported image
service.
If your installation requires euca2ools to register new
images, you must run the nova-objectstore
service. This service provides an Amazon S3 front-end for Glance,
which is required by euca2ools.
You can modify many of the OpenStack Image Catalogue and
Delivery Service. The following tables provide a comprehensive
list.
