Glance Server Location是镜像的所在位置, ID是镜像在Glance的唯一标识。
2.Image Statuses 共四种状态。
queued 标识该镜像ID已经被保留,但是镜像还未上传。
saving 标识镜像正在被上传。
active 标识镜像在Glance中完全可用。
killed 标识镜像上传过程中出错,镜像完全不可用。
3.Disk and Container format
Disk Format:raw vhd vmdk vdi iso qcow2 aki ari ami
Container Format: ovf bare aki ari ami
当disk format为aki ari ami时,disk format 和container format一致。
4.Image Registries
使用Glance,镜像metadata可以注册至image registries。
只要为image metadata提供了rest like API,任何web程序可以作为image registries与Glance对接。
当然,Glance也提供了参考实现。
更多信息可以参考on Controlling Servers,来自于Glance提供的Glance registry server。
Glance提供了如下Rest-like API:

GET /images/detail Return detailed information about public images
GET /images/ Return metadata about an image in HTTP headers
