Steve Lewis eeedeb9e06 [admin-guide] Import content from Glance dev docs
Importing related content from the Glance developer docs where it has
been maintained historically. This content is a straight lift-and-shift
from the Glance project repository at this time, with few exceptions:

- minor edits made to pass lint, normalize case, and update styles
- the compute-images-instances.rst content is relocated from where it
was kept in the compute portion of the guide.

Compute

The OpenStack Compute service allows you to control an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. It gives you control over instances and networks, and allows you to manage access to the cloud through users and projects.

Compute does not include virtualization software. Instead, it defines drivers that interact with underlying virtualization mechanisms that run on your host operating system, and exposes functionality over a web-based API.
