- allow_additional_image_properties¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
True
Allow users to add additional/custom properties to images.
Glance defines a standard set of properties (in its schema) that appear on every image. These properties are also known as
base properties
. In addition to these properties, Glance allows users to add custom properties to images. These are known asadditional properties
.By default, this configuration option is set to
True
and users are allowed to add additional properties. The number of additional properties that can be added to an image can be controlled viaimage_property_quota
configuration option.- Possible values:
True
False
- Related options:
image_property_quota
Warning
This option is deprecated for removal since Ussuri. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.
- Reason:
This option is redundant. Control custom image property usage via the ‘image_property_quota’ configuration option. This option is scheduled to be removed during the Victoria development cycle.
- hashing_algorithm¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
sha512
Secure hashing algorithm used for computing the ‘os_hash_value’ property.
This option configures the Glance “multihash”, which consists of two image properties: the ‘os_hash_algo’ and the ‘os_hash_value’. The ‘os_hash_algo’ will be populated by the value of this configuration option, and the ‘os_hash_value’ will be populated by the hexdigest computed when the algorithm is applied to the uploaded or imported image data.
The value must be a valid secure hash algorithm name recognized by the python ‘hashlib’ library. You can determine what these are by examining the ‘hashlib.algorithms_available’ data member of the version of the library being used in your Glance installation. For interoperability purposes, however, we recommend that you use the set of secure hash names supplied by the ‘hashlib.algorithms_guaranteed’ data member because those algorithms are guaranteed to be supported by the ‘hashlib’ library on all platforms. Thus, any image consumer using ‘hashlib’ locally should be able to verify the ‘os_hash_value’ of the image.
The default value of ‘sha512’ is a performant secure hash algorithm.
If this option is misconfigured, any attempts to store image data will fail. For that reason, we recommend using the default value.
- Possible values:
Any secure hash algorithm name recognized by the Python ‘hashlib’ library
- Related options:
None
- image_member_quota¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
128
Maximum number of image members per image.
This limits the maximum of users an image can be shared with. Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited.
- Related options:
None
- image_property_quota¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
128
Maximum number of properties allowed on an image.
This enforces an upper limit on the number of additional properties an image can have. Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited.
NOTE: This won’t have any impact if additional properties are disabled. Please refer to
allow_additional_image_properties
.- Related options:
allow_additional_image_properties
- image_tag_quota¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
128
Maximum number of tags allowed on an image.
Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited.
- Related options:
None
- image_location_quota¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
10
Maximum number of locations allowed on an image.
Any negative value is interpreted as unlimited.
- Related options:
None
- limit_param_default¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
25
- Minimum Value:
1
The default number of results to return for a request.
Responses to certain API requests, like list images, may return multiple items. The number of results returned can be explicitly controlled by specifying the
limit
parameter in the API request. However, if alimit
parameter is not specified, this configuration value will be used as the default number of results to be returned for any API request.- NOTES:
The value of this configuration option may not be greater than the value specified by
api_limit_max
.Setting this to a very large value may slow down database queries and increase response times. Setting this to a very low value may result in poor user experience.
- Possible values:
Any positive integer
- Related options:
api_limit_max
- api_limit_max¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
1000
- Minimum Value:
1
Maximum number of results that could be returned by a request.
As described in the help text of
limit_param_default
, some requests may return multiple results. The number of results to be returned are governed either by thelimit
parameter in the request or thelimit_param_default
configuration option. The value in either case, can’t be greater than the absolute maximum defined by this configuration option. Anything greater than this value is trimmed down to the maximum value defined here.- NOTE: Setting this to a very large value may slow down database
queries and increase response times. Setting this to a very low value may result in poor user experience.
- Possible values:
Any positive integer
- Related options:
limit_param_default
- show_image_direct_url¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
False
Show direct image location when returning an image.
This configuration option indicates whether to show the direct image location when returning image details to the user. The direct image location is where the image data is stored in backend storage. This image location is shown under the image property
direct_url
.When multiple image locations exist for an image, the best location is displayed based on the location strategy indicated by the configuration option
location_strategy
.- NOTES:
Revealing image locations can present a GRAVE SECURITY RISK as image locations can sometimes include credentials. Hence, this is set to
False
by default. Set this toTrue
with EXTREME CAUTION and ONLY IF you know what you are doing!If an operator wishes to avoid showing any image location(s) to the user, then both this option and
show_multiple_locations
MUST be set toFalse
.
- Possible values:
True
False
- Related options:
show_multiple_locations
location_strategy
- show_multiple_locations¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
False
Show all image locations when returning an image.
This configuration option indicates whether to show all the image locations when returning image details to the user. When multiple image locations exist for an image, the locations are ordered based on the location strategy indicated by the configuration opt
location_strategy
. The image locations are shown under the image propertylocations
.- NOTES:
Revealing image locations can present a GRAVE SECURITY RISK as image locations can sometimes include credentials. Hence, this is set to
False
by default. Set this toTrue
with EXTREME CAUTION and ONLY IF you know what you are doing!See https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/OSSN/OSSN-0065 for more information.
If an operator wishes to avoid showing any image location(s) to the user, then both this option and
show_image_direct_url
MUST be set toFalse
.
- Possible values:
True
False
- Related options:
show_image_direct_url
location_strategy
Warning
This option is deprecated for removal since Newton. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.
- Reason:
Use of this option, deprecated since Newton, is a security risk and will be removed once we figure out a way to satisfy those use cases that currently require it. An earlier announcement that the same functionality can be achieved with greater granularity by using policies is incorrect. You cannot work around this option via policy configuration at the present time, though that is the direction we believe the fix will take. Please keep an eye on the Glance release notes to stay up to date on progress in addressing this issue.
- image_size_cap¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
1099511627776
- Minimum Value:
1
- Maximum Value:
9223372036854775808
Maximum size of image a user can upload in bytes.
An image upload greater than the size mentioned here would result in an image creation failure. This configuration option defaults to 1099511627776 bytes (1 TiB).
- NOTES:
This value should only be increased after careful consideration and must be set less than or equal to 8 EiB (9223372036854775808).
This value must be set with careful consideration of the backend storage capacity. Setting this to a very low value may result in a large number of image failures. And, setting this to a very large value may result in faster consumption of storage. Hence, this must be set according to the nature of images created and storage capacity available.
- Possible values:
Any positive number less than or equal to 9223372036854775808
- user_storage_quota¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
0
Maximum amount of image storage per tenant.
This enforces an upper limit on the cumulative storage consumed by all images of a tenant across all stores. This is a per-tenant limit.
The default unit for this configuration option is Bytes. However, storage units can be specified using case-sensitive literals
B
,KB
,MB
,GB
andTB
representing Bytes, KiloBytes, MegaBytes, GigaBytes and TeraBytes respectively. Note that there should not be any space between the value and unit. Value0
signifies no quota enforcement. Negative values are invalid and result in errors.This has no effect if
use_keystone_limits
is enabled.- Possible values:
A string that is a valid concatenation of a non-negative integer representing the storage value and an optional string literal representing storage units as mentioned above.
- Related options:
use_keystone_limits
- use_keystone_limits¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
False
Utilize per-tenant resource limits registered in Keystone.
Enabling this feature will cause Glance to retrieve limits set in keystone for resource consumption and enforce them against API users. Before turning this on, the limits need to be registered in Keystone or all quotas will be considered to be zero, and thus reject all new resource requests.
These per-tenant resource limits are independent from the static global ones configured in this config file. If this is enabled, the relevant static global limits will be ignored.
- pydev_worker_debug_host¶
- Type:
host address
- Default:
localhost
This option has a sample default set, which means that its actual default value may vary from the one documented above.
Host address of the pydev server.
Provide a string value representing the hostname or IP of the pydev server to use for debugging. The pydev server listens for debug connections on this address, facilitating remote debugging in Glance.
- Possible values:
Valid hostname
Valid IP address
- Related options:
None
- pydev_worker_debug_port¶
- Type:
port number
- Default:
5678
- Minimum Value:
0
- Maximum Value:
65535
Port number that the pydev server will listen on.
Provide a port number to bind the pydev server to. The pydev process accepts debug connections on this port and facilitates remote debugging in Glance.
- Possible values:
A valid port number
- Related options:
None
- metadata_encryption_key¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
<None>
AES key for encrypting store location metadata.
Provide a string value representing the AES cipher to use for encrypting Glance store metadata.
NOTE: The AES key to use must be set to a random string of length 16, 24 or 32 bytes.
- Possible values:
String value representing a valid AES key
- Related options:
None
- digest_algorithm¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
sha256
Digest algorithm to use for digital signature.
Provide a string value representing the digest algorithm to use for generating digital signatures. By default,
sha256
is used.To get a list of the available algorithms supported by the version of OpenSSL on your platform, run the command:
openssl list-message-digest-algorithms
. Examples are ‘sha1’, ‘sha256’, and ‘sha512’.NOTE:
digest_algorithm
is not related to Glance’s image signing and verification. It is only used to sign the universally unique identifier (UUID) as a part of the certificate file and key file validation.- Possible values:
An OpenSSL message digest algorithm identifier
- Relation options:
None
- node_staging_uri¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
file:///tmp/staging/
The URL provides location where the temporary data will be stored
This option is for Glance internal use only. Glance will save the image data uploaded by the user to ‘staging’ endpoint during the image import process.
This option does not change the ‘staging’ API endpoint by any means.
NOTE: It is discouraged to use same path as [task]/work_dir
NOTE: ‘file://<absolute-directory-path>’ is the only option api_image_import flow will support for now.
NOTE: The staging path must be on shared filesystem available to all Glance API nodes.
- Possible values:
String starting with ‘file://’ followed by absolute FS path
- Related options:
[task]/work_dir
- enabled_import_methods¶
- Type:
list
- Default:
['glance-direct', 'web-download', 'copy-image']
List of enabled Image Import Methods
‘glance-direct’, ‘copy-image’ and ‘web-download’ are enabled by default. ‘glance-download’ is available, but requires federated deployments.
- Related options:
[DEFAULT]/node_staging_uri
- worker_self_reference_url¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
<None>
The URL to this worker.
If this is set, other glance workers will know how to contact this one directly if needed. For image import, a single worker stages the image and other workers need to be able to proxy the import request to the right one.
If unset, this will be considered to be public_endpoint, which normally would be set to the same value on all workers, effectively disabling the proxying behavior.
- Possible values:
A URL by which this worker is reachable from other workers
- Related options:
public_endpoint
- image_cache_sqlite_db¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
cache.db
The relative path to sqlite file database that will be used for image cache management.
This is a relative path to the sqlite file database that tracks the age and usage statistics of image cache. The path is relative to image cache base directory, specified by the configuration option
image_cache_dir
.This is a lightweight database with just one table.
- Possible values:
A valid relative path to sqlite file database
- Related options:
image_cache_dir
- image_cache_driver¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
sqlite
- Valid Values:
sqlite, xattr
The driver to use for image cache management.
This configuration option provides the flexibility to choose between the different image-cache drivers available. An image-cache driver is responsible for providing the essential functions of image-cache like write images to/read images from cache, track age and usage of cached images, provide a list of cached images, fetch size of the cache, queue images for caching and clean up the cache, etc.
The essential functions of a driver are defined in the base class
glance.image_cache.drivers.base.Driver
. All image-cache drivers (existing and prospective) must implement this interface. Currently available drivers aresqlite
andxattr
. These drivers primarily differ in the way they store the information about cached images:The
sqlite
driver uses a sqlite database (which sits on every glance node locally) to track the usage of cached images.The
xattr
driver uses the extended attributes of files to store this information. It also requires a filesystem that setsatime
on the files when accessed.
- Possible values:
sqlite
xattr
- Related options:
None
- image_cache_max_size¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
10737418240
- Minimum Value:
0
The upper limit on cache size, in bytes, after which the cache-pruner cleans up the image cache.
NOTE: This is just a threshold for cache-pruner to act upon. It is NOT a hard limit beyond which the image cache would never grow. In fact, depending on how often the cache-pruner runs and how quickly the cache fills, the image cache can far exceed the size specified here very easily. Hence, care must be taken to appropriately schedule the cache-pruner and in setting this limit.
Glance caches an image when it is downloaded. Consequently, the size of the image cache grows over time as the number of downloads increases. To keep the cache size from becoming unmanageable, it is recommended to run the cache-pruner as a periodic task. When the cache pruner is kicked off, it compares the current size of image cache and triggers a cleanup if the image cache grew beyond the size specified here. After the cleanup, the size of cache is less than or equal to size specified here.
- Possible values:
Any non-negative integer
- Related options:
None
- image_cache_stall_time¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
86400
- Minimum Value:
0
The amount of time, in seconds, an incomplete image remains in the cache.
Incomplete images are images for which download is in progress. Please see the description of configuration option
image_cache_dir
for more detail. Sometimes, due to various reasons, it is possible the download may hang and the incompletely downloaded image remains in theincomplete
directory. This configuration option sets a time limit on how long the incomplete images should remain in theincomplete
directory before they are cleaned up. Once an incomplete image spends more time than is specified here, it’ll be removed by cache-cleaner on its next run.It is recommended to run cache-cleaner as a periodic task on the Glance API nodes to keep the incomplete images from occupying disk space.
- Possible values:
Any non-negative integer
- Related options:
None
- image_cache_dir¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
<None>
Base directory for image cache.
This is the location where image data is cached and served out of. All cached images are stored directly under this directory. This directory also contains three subdirectories, namely,
incomplete
,invalid
andqueue
.The
incomplete
subdirectory is the staging area for downloading images. An image is first downloaded to this directory. When the image download is successful it is moved to the base directory. However, if the download fails, the partially downloaded image file is moved to theinvalid
subdirectory.The
queue``subdirectory is used for queuing images for download. This is used primarily by the cache-prefetcher, which can be scheduled as a periodic task like cache-pruner and cache-cleaner, to cache images ahead of their usage. Upon receiving the request to cache an image, Glance touches a file in the ``queue
directory with the image id as the file name. The cache-prefetcher, when running, polls for the files inqueue
directory and starts downloading them in the order they were created. When the download is successful, the zero-sized file is deleted from thequeue
directory. If the download fails, the zero-sized file remains and it’ll be retried the next time cache-prefetcher runs.- Possible values:
A valid path

glance_store¶
- stores¶
- Type:
list
- Default:
['file', 'http']
List of enabled Glance stores.

file
andhttp
.- Possible values:
- A comma separated list that could include:
file
http
swift
rbd
cinder
vmware
s3
- Related Options:
default_store
Warning
This option is deprecated for removal since Rocky. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.
- Reason:
This option is deprecated against new config option
enabled_backends
which helps to configure multiple backend stores of different schemes. This option is scheduled for removal in the U development cycle.
- default_store¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
file
- Valid Values:
file, filesystem, http, https, swift, swift+http, swift+https, swift+config, rbd, cinder, vsphere, s3
The default scheme to use for storing images.
Provide a string value representing the default scheme to use for storing images. If not set, Glance uses
file
as the default scheme to store images with thefile
store.NOTE: The value given for this configuration option must be a valid scheme for a store registered with the
stores
configuration option.- Possible values:
file
filesystem
http

Warning
This option is deprecated for removal since Rocky. Its value may be silently ignored in the future.
- Reason:
This option is deprecated against new config option
default_backend
which acts similar todefault_store
config option. This option is scheduled for removal in the U development cycle.
- filesystem_store_datadir¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
/var/lib/glance/images
Directory to which the filesystem backend store writes images.
Upon start up, Glance creates the directory if it doesn’t already exist and verifies write access to the user under which
glance-api
runs. If the write access isn’t available, aBadStoreConfiguration
exception is raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images.NOTE: This directory is used only when filesystem store is used as a storage backend. Either
filesystem_store_datadir
orfilesystem_store_datadirs
option must be specified inglance-api.conf
. If both options are specified, aBadStoreConfiguration
will be raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images.- Possible values:
A valid path to a directory
- Related options:
filesystem_store_datadirs
filesystem_store_file_perm
- filesystem_store_datadirs¶
- Type:
multi-valued
- Default:
''
List of directories and their priorities to which the filesystem backend store writes images.
The filesystem store can be configured to store images in multiple directories as opposed to using a single directory specified by the
filesystem_store_datadir
configuration option. When using multiple directories, each directory can be given an optional priority to specify the preference order in which they should be used. Priority is an integer that is concatenated to the directory path with a colon where a higher value indicates higher priority. When two directories have the same priority, the directory with most free space is used. When no priority is specified, it defaults to zero.More information on configuring filesystem store with multiple store directories can be found at https://docs.openstack.org/glance/latest/configuration/configuring.html
NOTE: This directory is used only when filesystem store is used as a storage backend. Either
filesystem_store_datadir
orfilesystem_store_datadirs
option must be specified inglance-api.conf
. If both options are specified, aBadStoreConfiguration
will be raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images.- Possible values:
- List of strings of the following form:
<a valid directory path>:<optional integer priority>
- Related options:
filesystem_store_datadir

- filesystem_store_metadata_file¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
<None>
Filesystem store metadata file.
The path to a file which contains the metadata to be returned with any location associated with the filesystem store. Once this option is set, it is used for new images created afterward only - previously existing images are not affected.
The file must contain a valid JSON object. The object should contain the keys
id
andmountpoint
. The value for both keys should be a string.- Possible values:
A valid path to the store metadata file
- Related options:
None
- filesystem_store_file_perm¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:

- Type:
integer
- Default:
60
- Minimum Value:
0
Time in seconds defining the size of the window in which a new token may be requested before the current token is due to expire.
Typically, the Swift storage driver fetches a new token upon the expiration of the current token to ensure continued access to Swift. However, some Swift transactions (like uploading image segments) may not recover well if the token expires on the fly.
Hence, by fetching a new token before the current token expiration, we make sure that the token does not expire or is close to expiry before a transaction is attempted. By default, the Swift storage driver requests for a new token 60 seconds or less before the current token expiration.

This configuration option specifies the number of times the VMware ESX/VC server API must be retried upon connection related issues or server API call overload. It is not possible to specify ‘retry forever’.
- Possible Values:
Any positive integer value
- Related options:
None
- vmware_task_poll_interval¶
- Type:
integer
- Default:
5
- Minimum Value:
1
Interval in seconds used for polling remote tasks invoked on VMware ESX/VC server.
This configuration option takes in the sleep time in seconds for polling an on-going async task as part of the VMWare ESX/VC server API call.
- Possible Values:
Any positive integer value
- Related options:
None
- vmware_store_image_dir¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
/openstack_glance
The directory where the glance images will be stored in the datastore.
This configuration option specifies the path to the directory where the glance images will be stored in the VMware datastore. If this option is not set, the default directory where the glance images are stored is openstack_glance.
- Possible Values:
Any string that is a valid path to a directory
- Related options:
None
- vmware_insecure¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
False
Set verification of the ESX/vCenter server certificate.
This configuration option takes a boolean value to determine whether or not to verify the ESX/vCenter server certificate. If this option is set to True, the ESX/vCenter server certificate is not verified. If this option is set to False, then the default CA truststore is used for verification.
This option is ignored if the “vmware_ca_file” option is set. In that case, the ESX/vCenter server certificate will then be verified using the file specified using the “vmware_ca_file” option .

True
False

- vmware_ca_file¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
This option has a sample default set, which means that its actual default value may vary from the one documented above.
Absolute path to the CA bundle file.
This configuration option enables the operator to use a custom Cerificate Authority File to verify the ESX/vCenter certificate.
If this option is set, the “vmware_insecure” option will be ignored and the CA file specified will be used to authenticate the ESX/vCenter server certificate and establish a secure connection to the server.
- Possible Values:
Any string that is a valid absolute path to a CA file

- vmware_datastores¶
- Type:
multi-valued
- Default:
''
The datastores where the image can be stored.
This configuration option specifies the datastores where the image can be stored in the VMWare store backend. This option may be specified multiple times for specifying multiple datastores. The datastore name should be specified after its datacenter path, separated by “:”. An optional weight may be given after the datastore name, separated again by “:” to specify the priority. Thus, the required format becomes <datacenter_path>:<datastore_name>:<optional_weight>.
When adding an image, the datastore with highest weight will be selected, unless there is not enough free space available in cases where the image size is already known. If no weight is given, it is assumed to be zero and the directory will be considered for selection last. If multiple datastores have the same weight, then the one with the most free space available is selected.
- Possible Values:
Any string of the format: <datacenter_path>:<datastore_name>:<optional_weight>

None
oslo_policy¶
- enforce_scope¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
True
This option controls whether or not to enforce scope when evaluating policies. If
True
, the scope of the token used in the request is compared to thescope_types
of the policy being enforced. If the scopes do not match, anInvalidScope
exception will be raised. IfFalse
, a message will be logged informing operators that policies are being invoked with mismatching scope.
- enforce_new_defaults¶
- Type:
boolean
- Default:
True
This option controls whether or not to use old deprecated defaults when evaluating policies. If
True
, the old deprecated defaults are not going to be evaluated. This means if any existing token is allowed for old defaults but is disallowed for new defaults, it will be disallowed. It is encouraged to enable this flag along with theenforce_scope
flag so that you can get the benefits of new defaults andscope_type
together. IfFalse
, the deprecated policy check string is logically OR’d with the new policy check string, allowing for a graceful upgrade experience between releases with new policies, which is the default behavior.
- policy_file¶
- Type:
string
- Default:
policy.yaml
The relative or absolute path of a file that maps roles to permissions for a given service. Relative paths must be specified in relation to the configuration file setting this option.
