The OpenStack Image service (glance) enables users to discover,
|
|
register, and retrieve virtual machine images. It offers a
|
|
:term:`REST <RESTful>` API that enables you to query virtual
|
|
machine image metadata and retrieve an actual image.
|
|
You can store virtual machine images made available through
|
|
the Image service in a variety of locations, from simple file
|
|
systems to object-storage systems like OpenStack Object Storage.

For simplicity, this guide describes configuring the Image service to
|
|
use the ``file`` back end, which uploads and stores in a
|
|
directory on the controller node hosting the Image service. By
|
|
default, this directory is :file:`/var/lib/glance/images/`.
|
|
|
|
Before you proceed, ensure that the controller node has at least
|
|
several gigabytes of space available in this directory.
|
|
|
|
For information on requirements for other back ends, see
