<title>Configuring the Image Service</title>
<para>The OpenStack Image service provides users the ability to discover,
register, and retrieve virtual machine images. Also known as
the glance project, the Image service offers a REST API that
allows querying of virtual machine image metadata as well as
retrieval of the actual image. Virtual machine images made
available through the Image service can be stored in a variety
of locations from simple filesystems to object-storage systems
like the OpenStack Object Storage service.</para>
