Using OpenStack Image
Before working with the Image service, you'll need to create a
connection to your OpenStack cloud by following the connect user guide. This will
provide you with the conn variable used in the examples
below.
The primary resource of the Image service is the image.
List Images
An image is a collection of files for a specific operating system that you use to create or rebuild a server. OpenStack provides pre-built images. You can also create custom images, or snapshots, from servers that you have launched. Images come in different formats and are sometimes called virtual machine images.
