Hello !

We're planning a new cluster without Ceph storage.
We will use an iSCSI pureStorage array for all storage except object 
storage.

PureStorage provide only a cinder driver.
So we will need to user boot on volume nova instances.

My question is about glance.
PureStorage speak about Image Cache since Liberty: 
https://support.purestorage.com/Solutions/OpenStack/z_Legacy_OpenStack_Reference/OpenStack%C2%AE_Liberty%3A_A_Look_at_the_Glance_Image-Cache_for_Cinder

But I wonder if using the cinder backend of glance is a better, simpler, 
transparent option ?
