Description Direct Docs Feedback 2023-07-12 23:58:14 UTC

Default Glance backend is Swift, not Cinder.

The following sentence states that Cinder is the default backend of Glance.

~~~
The Image service uses the Block Storage type and back end as the default.
~~~

This is incorrect.
The default backend of Glance is Swift.
