You can pass the X-Image-Meta-Store: header to one of "swift", "s3", or<BR>
"rds". Unfortunately, this is not supported in the glance CLI tool right<BR>
now. You could add a quick hack that adds the X-Image-Meta-Store header<BR>
to the features variable. Something like this git diff shows...<BR>
<BR>
diff --git a/bin/glance b/bin/glance<BR>

If it works out, feel free to contribute the patch to Glance ;)<BR>

No, but it hasn't been something that users have clamoured for up until<BR>
now -- mostly because people standing up Glance are typically standing<BR>
it up with some default store and only storing images using that store.<BR>
But the "plumbing" is there to support this. as mentioned above.<BR>
