This release adds client support for the Glance feature
|
||||
`multi-store backend support
|
||||
<https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/glance-specs/specs/rocky/approved/glance/multi-store.html>`_,
|
||||
introduced in the Rocky release. This feature allows end users
|
||||
to direct uploaded or imported image data to a particular backend
|
||||
when a cloud operator has configured the Image Service to use multiple
|
||||
backends.
|
||||
|
||||
The available backends are discoverable by making the ``stores-info``
|
||||
call, which will return a list of available backends. The list contains
|
||||
an identifier (``id``) and a ``description`` of each available
|
||||
backend. The default backend is indicated in this response.
|
||||
|
||||
When uploading or importing an image, the glanceclient now accepts
|
||||
the ``--backend`` option. Its value must be the ``id`` of a backend
|
||||
configured in the cloud against which the call is being made. This
|
||||
option may also be configured by exporting the ``OS_IMAGE_BACKEND``
|
||||
environment variable with the ``id`` of a configured backend as its
|
||||
value.
|
||||
|
||||
Some other points to keep in mind:
|
||||
|
||||
- If no backend is specified, the image data is stored in the
|
||||
default backend.
|
||||
- If the version of the Image Service API contacted does not
|
||||
support multi-store backends, the option is silently ignored
|
||||
and the image data is stored in the default backend.
|
||||
- If an invalid backend identifier is used, the glanceclient will
|
||||
exit with an error message.
|
||||
- Backend identifiers and their meanings are unique to each cloud.
|
||||
Consult the ``stores-info`` call and your cloud provider's
|
||||
documentation for details.
