Image service property keys

You can use the glanceclient command line interface to set image properties that can be consumed by other services to affect the behavior of those other services.

Properties can be set on an image at the time of image creation or they can be set on an existing image. Use the openstack image create and openstack image set commands respectively.

For example:

$ openstack image set IMG-UUID --property architecture=x86_64

For a list of image properties that can be used to affect the behavior of other services, refer to Useful image properties in the Glance Administration Guide.

Note

Behavior set using image properties overrides behavior set using flavors. For more information, refer to Manage images in the Glance Administration Guide.
