Our preliminary testing with a raw image with container_format == compressed, disk_format == raw is that Nova boots a VM from the image but the VM appears to be unusable. Nova seems taking it as a real RAW image as disk_format indicates.
It looks like [3] has been introduced to fail the instance creation, which seems like a legit first step.
So we want to open a discussion about handling this.
Is there a sense of what it would take for nova to support compressed images? We're past spec freeze, but if the impact is small...
