Andreas Jaeger 28d95bfc66 End User Guide: Remove user_only and orphan

With the split of the User Guides, there's no need anymore to have
orphan and user_only flags, remove them from the user-guide
directory.

Only files that keep :orphan: are
doc/user-guide/source/hot-guide/hot_advanced_topics.rst and
hot_existing_templates.rst since these files are not currently included.

Manage images

When working with images in the SDK, you will call both glance and nova methods.

List images

To list the available images, call the glanceclient.v2.images.Controller.list method:

import glanceclient.v2.client as glclient
glance = glclient.Client(...)
images = glance.images.list()

The images method returns a Python generator, as shown in the following interaction with the Python interpreter:

>>> images = glance.images.list()
>>> images
<generator object list at 0x105e9c2d0>
>>> list(images)

Get image by ID

To retrieve an image object from its ID, call the glanceclient.v2.images.Controller.get method:

import glanceclient.v2.client as glclient
image_id = 'c002c82e-2cfa-4952-8461-2095b69c18a6'
glance = glclient.Client(...)
image = glance.images.get(image_id)

Get image by name

The Image Service Python bindings do not support the retrieval of an image object by name. However, the Compute Python bindings enable you to get an image object by name. To get an image object by name, call the novaclient.v1\_1.images.ImageManager.find method:

import novaclient.v1_1.client as nvclient
name = "cirros"
nova = nvclient.Client(...)
image = nova.images.find(name=name)

Upload an image

To upload an image, call the glanceclient.v2.images.ImageManager.create method:

import glanceclient.v2.client as glclient
imagefile = "/tmp/myimage.img"
glance = glclient.Client(...)
with open(imagefile) as fimage:
  glance.images.create(name="myimage", is_public=False, disk_format="qcow2",
                       container_format="bare", data=fimage)
