Open Stack

I haven't look at the review proposed yet one week ago, but some time ago,
we needed something similar for Ironic (nova, ironic and cinder share
almost the same code for the glance driver), but didn't make it.

In case someone wants to take a look:
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/33327/

I'll take a look to the bp and the solutions proposed to see if something
can be reused.
