Open Stack

Hi! Thank you for your interest in Glare. I'm leading this project and I'll
try to answer your questions :)

Glare is a new service under Glance repo which previously was called Glance
v3, now it's experimental Glare v0.1 api. It has a devstack support, so you
can deploy it with setting ENABLED_SERVICES=g-glare in your localrc file.
At the moment only Murano uses v0.1 as an optional backend for its
packages, but in common case it's not recommended for real deployments.

While we were working on the service we got a lot of advice and suggestions
from community and API-WG about how we can improve our api. We collected
them all and started implementing stable Glare api - v1 [1]. Currently
stable Glare is under active development, skeleton is almost here [2] and I
think we can organize public POC demo next week (it will be announced later
on Friday). More details and functionality will be presented on Newton
summit.

Our plan is stabilize Glare as much as possible and merge it in Newton.
Then in Ocata add Glare's v1 support in Nova and other services like Heat,
Sahara, App Catalog, Tacker, Murano, Mistral and so on.

If you have any other questions you can ask here or visit our weekly irc
meeting on Monday at 1730 UTC in #openstack-meeting-alt [3].

Best regards,
Mikhail Fedosin
