Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/public-glance.

Description:

Pulled from the summit discussion summary:

Currently, if nova is configured to use a glance instance, it basically assumes it can also write to that glance (at least for snapshots of the instance). This means that public glance servers aren't really feasible. I'd like to be able to run a public glance server, and configure nova installations to offer images presented there as runnable. Some of the things that would need to be covered here: * local caching of remote images * local storage of snapshots of remote image
