[Openstack] Glance image definition using V2 API

Are you referring to https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/image/v2/#create-an-image ?
There seems to be no support for specifying a location in the API V2 create-image call (POST /v2/images)
Perhaps the location attribute could be updated after creation using the update-image call (PATCH /v2/images) but I couldn't find a definitive answer on that

Did you look at the Openstack commas api options? I am traveling now but I could check it later.
