第 6 章 Customizing the Image service (glance) import workflow

You can configure the Image service (glance) import workflow to control image uploads and processing. Enable import methods such as glance-direct, web-download, or copy-image, monitor staged images, and use plugins for metadata injection and format conversion.

Users can upload their own images to the Image service by using the default glance-direct or web-download import methods. If you have multiple Red Hat Ceph Storage back ends for the Image service, you can also enable the copy-image import method. You can monitor uploaded images in a staging area before they go active in a storage back end, and you can configure the import workflow to run plugins to make user images discoverable, for example, the Inject Image Metadata plugin for metadata or the Image Conversion plugin for image formats.
