+#   Defaults to $::os_service_default.
+#
+# [*vmware_datastores*]
+#   (Multi-valued) A list of datastores where the image
+#   can be stored. This option may be specified multiple times
+#   for specifying multiple datastores. The datastore name should
+#   be specified after its datacenter path, separated by ":".
+#   An optional weight may be given after the datastore name,
+#   separated again by ":". Thus, the required format
+#   becomes <datacenter_path>:<datastore_name>:<optional_weight>.
+#   When adding an image, the datastore with highest weight will be selected,
+#   unless there is not enough free space available in cases where the image
+#   size is already known. If no weight is given, it is assumed to be
+#   zero and the directory will be considered for selection last.
+#   If multiple datastores have the same weight, then the one with the most
+#   free space available is selected.
+#   Defaults to $::os_service_default.
+#
+# [*vmware_server_host*]
+#   (required) vCenter/ESXi Server target system.
+#   Should be a valid an IP address or a DNS name.
+#
+# [*vmware_server_username*]
+#   (required) Username for authenticating with vCenter/ESXi server.
+#
+# [*vmware_server_password*]
+#   (required) Password for authenticating with vCenter/ESXi server.
+#
+# [*vmware_store_image_dir*]
+#   (required) The name of the directory where the glance images will be stored
+#   in the VMware datastore.
+#
+# [*vmware_task_poll_interval*]
+#   (optional) The interval used for polling remote tasks invoked on
+#   vCenter/ESXi server.
+#   Defaults to $::os_service_default.
+#
+# [*vmware_api_retry_count*]
+#   (optional) Number of times VMware ESX/VC server API must be retried upon
+#   connection related issues.
+#   Defaults to $::os_service_default.

+# [*store_description*]

+features:
+  - |
+    Add glance::api::enabled_backends and glance::api::default_backend
+    parameters for configuring glance backends. The parameters implement
+    glance's Multi Store syntax, which supports configuring multiple backends
+    of the same type (e.g. multiple rbd backends). Multiple backends of the
+    same type may be specified using new glance::backend::multistore::*
+    defined resource types.
+deprecations:
+  - |
+    The following parameters are deprecated due to the corresponding parameters
+    being deprecated in glance. They are replaced by the new
+    glance::api::enabled_backends and glance::api::default_backend parameters.
+    * glance::api::stores
+    * glance::api::default_store
+    * glance::api::multi_store
+
+    The following backend resources are deprecated because they are associated
+    with the deprecated glance::api::stores parameter. They are replaced by
+    corresponding glance::backend::multistore resources, except for the s3
+    backend which was removed from glance in Newton.
+    * glance::backend::cinder
+    * glance::backend::file
+    * glance::backend::rbd
+    * glance::backend::s3
+    * glance::backend::swift
+    * glance::backend::vsphere
