--version show program's version number and exit -d, --debug Defaults to env[GLANCECLIENT_DEBUG]. -v, --verbose Print more verbose output --get-schema Ignores cached copy and forces retrieval of schema that generates portions of the help text. Ignored with API version 1. -k, --insecure Explicitly allow glanceclient to perform "insecure SSL" (https) requests. The server's certificate will not be verified against any certificate authorities. This option should be used with caution. --cert-file CERT_FILE Path of certificate file to use in SSL connection. This file can optionally be prepended with the private key. --key-file KEY_FILE Path of client key to use in SSL connection. This option is not necessary if your key is prepended to your cert file. --os-cacert <ca-certificate-file> Path of CA TLS certificate(s) used to verify the remote server's certificate. Without this option glance looks for the default system CA certificates. --ca-file OS_CACERT DEPRECATED! Use --os-cacert. --timeout TIMEOUT Number of seconds to wait for a response --no-ssl-compression Disable SSL compression when using https. -f, --force Prevent select actions from requesting user confirmation. --dry-run DEPRECATED! Only used for deprecated legacy commands. --ssl DEPRECATED! Send a fully-formed endpoint using --os- image-url instead. -H ADDRESS, --host ADDRESS DEPRECATED! Send a fully-formed endpoint using --os- image-url instead. -p PORT, --port PORT DEPRECATED! Send a fully-formed endpoint using --os- image-url instead. --os-username OS_USERNAME Defaults to env[OS_USERNAME]. -I OS_USERNAME DEPRECATED!

usage: glance image-create [--id <IMAGE_ID>] [--name <NAME>] [--store <STORE>] [--disk-format <DISK_FORMAT>] [--container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT>] [--owner <TENANT_ID>] [--size <SIZE>] [--min-disk <DISK_GB>] [--min-ram <DISK_RAM>] [--location <IMAGE_URL>] [--file <FILE>] [--checksum <CHECKSUM>] [--copy-from <IMAGE_URL>] [--is-public {True,False}] [--is-protected {True,False}] [--property <key=value>] [--human-readable] [--progress] Create a new image. --id <IMAGE_ID> ID of image to reserve. --name <NAME> Name of image. --store <STORE> Store to upload image to. --disk-format <DISK_FORMAT> Disk format of image. Acceptable formats: ami, ari, aki, vhd, vmdk, raw, qcow2, vdi, and iso. --container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT> Container format of image. Acceptable formats: ami, ari, aki, bare, and ovf. --owner <TENANT_ID> Tenant who should own image. --size <SIZE> Size of image data (in bytes). Only used with '-- location' and '--copy_from'. --min-disk <DISK_GB> Minimum size of disk needed to boot image (in gigabytes). --min-ram <DISK_RAM> Minimum amount of ram needed to boot image (in megabytes). --location <IMAGE_URL> URL where the data for this image already resides. For example, if the image data is stored in swift, you could specify 'swift://account:key@example.com/container/obj'. --file <FILE> Local file that contains disk image to be uploaded during creation. Alternatively, images can be passed to the client via stdin. --checksum <CHECKSUM> Hash of image data used Glance can use for verification. Provide a md5 checksum here. --copy-from <IMAGE_URL> Similar to '--location' in usage, but this indicates that the Glance server should immediately copy the data and store it in its configured image store. --is-public {True,False} Make image accessible to the public. --is-protected {True,False} Prevent image from being deleted. --property <key=value> Arbitrary property to associate with image. May be used multiple times. --human-readable Print image size in a human-friendly format. --progress Show upload progress bar.

usage: glance image-delete <IMAGE> [<IMAGE> ...] Delete specified image(s). <IMAGE> Name or ID of image(s) to delete.

usage: glance image-list [--name <NAME>] [--status <STATUS>] [--container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT>] [--disk-format <DISK_FORMAT>] [--size-min <SIZE>] [--size-max <SIZE>] [--property-filter <KEY=VALUE>] [--page-size <SIZE>] [--human-readable] [--sort-key {name,status,container_format,disk_format,size,id,created_at,updated_at}] [--sort-dir {asc,desc}] [--is-public {True,False}] [--owner <TENANT_ID>] [--all-tenants] List images you can access. --name <NAME> Filter images to those that have this name. --status <STATUS> Filter images to those that have this status. --container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT> Filter images to those that have this container format. Acceptable formats: ami, ari, aki, bare, and ovf. --disk-format <DISK_FORMAT> Filter images to those that have this disk format. Acceptable formats: ami, ari, aki, vhd, vmdk, raw, qcow2, vdi, and iso. --size-min <SIZE> Filter images to those with a size greater than this. --size-max <SIZE> Filter images to those with a size less than this. --property-filter <KEY=VALUE> Filter images by a user-defined image property. --page-size <SIZE> Number of images to request in each paginated request. --human-readable Print image size in a human-friendly format. --sort-key {name,status,container_format,disk_format,size,id,created_at,updated_at} Sort image list by specified field. --sort-dir {asc,desc} Sort image list in specified direction. --is-public {True,False} Allows the user to select a listing of public or non public images. --owner <TENANT_ID> Display only images owned by this tenant id. Filtering occurs on the client side so may be inefficient. This option is mainly intended for admin use. Use an empty string ('') to list images with no owner. Note: This option overrides the --is-public argument if present. Note: the v2 API supports more efficient server-side owner based filtering. --all-tenants Allows the admin user to list all images irrespective of the image's owner or is_public value.

usage: glance image-show [--human-readable] [--max-column-width <integer>] <IMAGE> Describe a specific image. <IMAGE> Name or ID of image to describe. --human-readable Print image size in a human-friendly format. --max-column-width <integer> The max column width of the printed table.

Acceptable formats: ami, ari, aki, vhd, vmdk, raw, qcow2, vdi, and iso. --container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT> Container format of image.

For example, if the image data is stored in swift, you could specify 'swift://account:key@example.com/container/obj'. --file <FILE> Local file that contains disk image to be uploaded during update. Alternatively, images can be passed to the client via stdin. --checksum <CHECKSUM> Hash of image data used Glance can use for verification. --copy-from <IMAGE_URL> Similar to '--location' in usage, but this indicates that the Glance server should immediately copy the data and store it in its configured image store. --is-public {True,False} Make image accessible to the public. --is-protected {True,False} Prevent image from being deleted. --property <key=value> Arbitrary property to associate with image. May be used multiple times. --purge-props If this flag is present, delete all image properties not explicitly set in the update request. Otherwise, those properties not referenced are preserved. --human-readable Print image size in a human-friendly format. --progress Show upload progress bar.
