Thanks for your nice message Mikhail.


I, however, wanted to address a small correction to avoid any further
presumptions about Glare, Glance and Images API with the tags associated
in the email subject herewith. (also adding Glance tag to the list to
ensure we reach the appropriate Images related audience).

While this feature looks nothing less than excellent, it is unfortunate
that the Images API is built into Glance -- meaning Glance will remain
the reference implementation of the OpenStack Images API for the near to
long future. So, while it may be possible to test integrity of data
assets, it won't be possible for any operator/user/API-consumer to use
Glare for Images as Glance will remain the whole and sole API for Images
and all future features need to be implemented therein.

The reasons for this have been discussed briefly in the proposal
(review) of the Glare spec and in related conversations. If anyone needs
more info, please reach out.
