Hi Joe,


​
​Am on my phone so can't find the links at the moment but there was some discussion around this when working out what we should leave out of the v3 api. Some people had concerns about exposing the glance api publicly and so wanted to retain the images support in Nova.


​
​So the consensus seemed to be to leave the images support in, but to demote it from core. So people who don't want it exclude the os-images extension.




​Just as I write this I've realised that the servers api currently returns links to the image used for the instance. And that won't be valid if the images extension is not loaded. So probably have some work to do there to support  that properly.


Regards,


Chris

Hi All,

even though Glance, has been pulled out of Nova years ago, Nova still has a images API that proxies back to Glance.  Since Nova is in the process of creating a new, V3, API, we know have a chance to re-evaluate this API. 




* Do we still need this in Nova, is there any reason to not just use Glance directly?  I have vague concerns about making Glance API publicly accessible, but I am not sure what the underlying reason is


* If it is still needed in Nova today, can we remove it in the future and if so what is the timeline?


best,
Joe Gordon
