Hi Denis,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I think this is a perfect time for you to review the spec for the glance metadata catalog <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/98554/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/98554/</a> and see if it fits your use case.</div>
<div>Also, we have a session tomorrow at 9:00am PST at the Glance meetup to discuss this topic. I think it would be useful if you could join (in person or remotely). Please see the details: <a href="https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Glance/JunoCycleMeetup">https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Glance/JunoCycleMeetup</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Arnaud</div>

<span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> I’d like to discuss the future of Trove metadata API. But

has been requested frequently by our users. They need a way to store critical information for their instances and have that be associated with the instance so that it is displayed whenever that instance is listed via the API. This also becomes very usable
from a testing perspective when doing integration/ci. We can utilize the metadata to store things like what process created the instance, what the instance is being used for, etc... The design for this feature is modeled heavily on the Nova metadata API with
a few tweaks in how it works internally.</span><br>

use cases for metadata usage (eg given goals at [1] are out of scope of Database program, etc.).
