Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 15:38:04 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/nova-fast-snapshot.

Description:

The current snapshot to clone an instance is taking too much time especially when the image size is huge (base + instance disk). To clone an instance faster, we just need to copy qcow2 image (instance disk) and upload it into glance. To run that instance, the image will be copied from glance to the newly created instance folder.
