Hi,

We have a requirement wherein we will clone an image and register the cloned image into glance from file location using x-image-meta-location. However, file location option has been removed for security reasons.
So, We are planning to include two parameters in glance.conf , which enables file access according to configurable parameter and allow access to specific directories.
For Example:
flag_access = enable/disable
access_paths=path1,path2,etc.,

And while booting a vm ,we want to avoid copying the image from glance  to the Hypervisor (_base folder) for performance reasons .
For this, we are planning to add a new parameter in nova conf file based on which we will skip copying image to the Hypervisor and boot from image location which is registered in glance.
For Example:
skip_copy_toHypervisor=enable/disable

Any suggestions/thoughts on this would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Srujana C P
