Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 19:19:09 UTC

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/epa-ovf-meta-data-import.

Description:

This proposal focuses on how meta-data contained in the OVF package can be imported automatically by Glance. At the VM deployment phase, Nova, via the Image Properties Filter, can leverage the meta-data imported by Glance to filter the available platforms to a subset of platforms that are most suitable for deploying the VM image on.  One use case relates to automatic provisioning of VMs for Network Function Virtualization applications that may require Enhanced Platform Awareness and more fine-grained provisioning of platform resources in order to meet performance criteria. The DMTF CIM models are referenced as examples of meta-data that may be imported.
