GlanceStoreDescription

User facing description for the OpenStack Image Storage (glance) backend. The default value is Default glance store backend..

GlanceWorkers

Set the number of workers for the image storage service. Note that more workers creates a larger number of processes on systems, which results in excess memory consumption. It is recommended to choose a suitable non-default value on systems with high CPU core counts. 0 sets to the OpenStack internal default, which is equal to the number of CPU cores on the node.
