The Image service supports several back ends for storing virtual machine images:
OpenStack Block Storage (cinder)
A directory on a local file system
GridFS
Ceph RBD
Amazon S3
Sheepdog
OpenStack Object Storage (swift)
VMware ESX
The following tables detail the options available for each.
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [glance_store] | |
cinder_api_insecure = False |
(BoolOpt) Allow to perform insecure SSL requests to cinder |
cinder_ca_certificates_file = None |
(StrOpt) Location of ca certicates file to use for cinder client requests. |
cinder_catalog_info = volume:cinder:publicURL |
(StrOpt) Info to match when looking for cinder in the service catalog. Format is : separated values of the form: <service_type>:<service_name>:<endpoint_type> |
cinder_endpoint_template = None |
(StrOpt) Override service catalog lookup with template for cinder endpoint e.g. http://localhost:8776/v1/%(project_id)s |
cinder_http_retries = 3 |
(IntOpt) Number of cinderclient retries on failed http calls |
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [glance_store] | |
filesystem_store_datadir = None |
(StrOpt) Directory to which the Filesystem backend store writes images. |
filesystem_store_datadirs = None |
(MultiStrOpt) List of directories and its priorities to which the Filesystem backend store writes images. |
filesystem_store_file_perm = 0 |
(IntOpt) The required permission for created image file. In this way the user other service used, e.g. Nova, who consumes the image could be the exclusive member of the group that owns the files created. Assigning it less then or equal to zero means don't change the default permission of the file. This value will be decoded as an octal digit. |
filesystem_store_metadata_file = None |
(StrOpt) The path to a file which contains the metadata to be returned with any location associated with this store. The file must contain a valid JSON object. The object should contain the keys 'id' and 'mountpoint'. The value for both keys should be 'string'. |
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [glance_store] | |
mongodb_store_db = None |
(StrOpt) Database to use |
mongodb_store_uri = None |
(StrOpt) Hostname or IP address of the instance to connect to, or a mongodb URI, or a list of hostnames / mongodb URIs. If host is an IPv6 literal it must be enclosed in '[' and ']' characters following the RFC2732 URL syntax (e.g. '[::1]' for localhost) |
| Configuration option = Default value | Description |
|---|---|
| [glance_store] | |
rados_connect_timeout = 0 |
(IntOpt) Timeout value (in seconds) used when connecting to ceph cluster. If value <= 0, no timeout is set and default librados value is used. |
rbd_store_ceph_conf = /etc/ceph/ceph.conf |
(StrOpt) Ceph configuration file path. If <None>, librados will locate the default config. If using cephx authentication, this file should include a reference to the right keyring in a client.<USER> section |
rbd_store_chunk_size = 8 |
(IntOpt) RADOS images will be chunked into objects of this size (in megabytes). For best performance, this should be a power of two. |
rbd_store_pool = localhost |
(StrOpt) RADOS pool in which images are stored. |
rbd_store_user = None |
(StrOpt) RADOS user to authenticate as (only applicable if using Cephx. If <None>, a default will be chosen based on the client. section in rbd_store_ceph_conf) |

s3_store_object_buffer_dir = None |
(StrOpt) The local directory where uploads will be staged before they are transferred into S3. |
s3_store_proxy_host = None |
(StrOpt) Address or hostname for the proxy server. |
s3_store_proxy_password = None |
(StrOpt) The password to use when connecting over a proxy. |
s3_store_proxy_port = 8080 |
(IntOpt) The port to use when connecting over a proxy. |
