The Glance project provides a service where users can upload and discover
|
|
|
|
data assets that are meant to be used with other services. This currently
|
|
|
|
includes images and metadata definitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Glance image services include discovering, registering, and
|
2010-12-13 22:22:13 -05:00
|
|
|
retrieving virtual machine images. Glance has a RESTful API that allows
|
|
|
|
querying of VM image metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
VM images made available through Glance can be stored in a variety of
|
|
|
|
locations from simple filesystems to object-storage systems like the
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Swift project.

Glance, as with all OpenStack projects, is written with the following design

guidelines in mind:

|
|
|
* **Component based architecture**: Quickly add new behaviors
|
|
|
|
* **Highly available**: Scale to very serious workloads
|
|
|
|
* **Fault tolerant**: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
|
|
|
|
* **Recoverable**: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
|
|
|
|
* **Open standards**: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api

Glance Metadata Definitions Catalog - API
Implements: blueprint metadata-schema-catalog
A common API hosted by the Glance service for vendors, admins,
services, and users to meaningfully define available key / value
pair and tag metadata. The intent is to enable better metadata
collaboration across artifacts, services, and projects for
OpenStack users.
This is about the definition of the available metadata that can
be used on different types of resources (images, artifacts,
volumes, flavors, aggregates, etc). A definition includes the
properties type, its key, it's description, and it's constraints.
This catalogue will not store the values for specific instance
properties.
- REST API for CRUD on metadef namespace
- REST API for CRUD on metadef objects
- REST API for CRUD on metadef properites
- REST API for CRUD on metadef resource types
- REST API for JSON schemas on metadef API's
