For details on how to use image, see Using OpenStack Image
The image high-level interface is available through the image
member of a
Connection
object. The image
member will
only be added if the service is detected.
Import data to an existing image
Interoperable image import process are introduced in the Image API v2.6. It mainly allow image importing from an external url and let Image Service download it by itself without sending binary data at image creation.
image – The value can be the ID of a image or a
Image
instance.
method – Method to use for importing the image. A valid value is glance-direct or web-download.
uri – Required only if using the web-download import method. This url is where the data is made available to the Image service.
store – Used when enabled_backends is activated in glance. The value
can be the id of a store or a
Store
instance.
stores – List of stores to be used when enabled_backends is activated
in glance. List values can be the id of a store or a
Store
instance.
all_stores – Upload to all available stores. Mutually exclusive with
store
and stores
.
all_stores_must_succeed – When set to True, if an error occurs during the upload in at least one store, the worfklow fails, the data is deleted from stores where copying is done (not staging), and the state of the image is unchanged. When set to False, the workflow will fail (data deleted from stores, …) only if the import fails on all stores specified by the user. In case of a partial success, the locations added to the image will be the stores where the data has been correctly uploaded. Default is True.
None
Stage binary image data
Create and upload a new image from attributes
container_format – Format of the container. A valid value is ami, ari, aki, bare, ovf, ova, or docker.
disk_format – The format of the disk. A valid value is ami, ari, aki, vhd, vmdk, raw, qcow2, vdi, or iso.
data – The data to be uploaded as an image.
attrs (dict) – Keyword arguments which will be used to create
a Image
, comprised of the
properties on the Image class.
The results of image creation
Download an image
This will download an image to memory when stream=False
, or allow
streaming downloads using an iterator when stream=True
.
For examples of working with streamed responses, see
Downloading an Image with stream=True.
image – The value can be either the ID of an image or a
Image
instance.
stream (bool) –
When True
, return a requests.Response
instance allowing you to iterate over the
response data stream instead of storing its entire
contents in memory. See
requests.Response.iter_content()
for more
details. NOTE: If you do not consume
the entirety of the response you must explicitly
call requests.Response.close()
or otherwise
risk inefficiencies with the requests
library’s handling of connections.
When False
, return the entire
contents of the response.
output – Either a file object or a path to store data into.
chunk_size (int) – size in bytes to read from the wire and buffer at one time. Defaults to 1024
When output is not given - the bytes comprising the given
Image when stream is False, otherwise a requests.Response
instance. When output is given - a
Image
instance.
Delete an image
image – The value can be either the ID of an image or a
Image
instance.
ignore_missing (bool) – When set to False
ResourceNotFound
will be
raised when the image does not exist.
When set to True
, no exception will be set when
attempting to delete a nonexistent image.
None
Find a single image
name_or_id – The name or ID of a image.
ignore_missing (bool) – When set to False
ResourceNotFound
will be
raised when the resource does not exist.
When set to True
, None will be returned when
attempting to find a nonexistent resource.
One Image
or None
Get a single image
Return a generator of images
query (kwargs) – Optional query parameters to be sent to limit the resources being returned.
A generator of image objects
Update a image
Deactivate an image
image – Either the ID of a image or a
Image
instance.
None
Deactivate an image
image – Either the ID of a image or a
Image
instance.
None
Add a tag to an image
image – The value can be the ID of a image or a
Image
instance
that the member will be created for.
tag (str) – The tag to be added
None
Remove a tag to an image
image – The value can be the ID of a image or a
Image
instance
that the member will be created for.
tag (str) – The tag to be removed
None
Upload an image.
name (str) – Name of the image to create. If it is a pathname of an image, the name will be constructed from the extensionless basename of the path.
filename (str) – The path to the file to upload, if needed. (optional, defaults to None)
data – Image data (string or file-like object). It is mutually exclusive with filename
container (str) – Name of the container in swift where images should be uploaded for import if the cloud requires such a thing. (optional, defaults to ‘images’)
md5 (str) – md5 sum of the image file. If not given, an md5 will be calculated.
sha256 (str) – sha256 sum of the image file. If not given, an md5 will be calculated.
disk_format (str) – The disk format the image is in. (optional, defaults to the os-client-config config value for this cloud)
container_format (str) – The container format the image is in. (optional, defaults to the os-client-config config value for this cloud)
tags (list) – List of tags for this image. Each tag is a string of at most 255 chars.
disable_vendor_agent (bool) – Whether or not to append metadata flags to the image to inform the cloud in question to not expect a vendor agent to be runing. (optional, defaults to True)
allow_duplicates – If true, skips checks that enforce unique image name. (optional, defaults to False)
meta – A dict of key/value pairs to use for metadata that bypasses automatic type conversion.
wait (bool) – If true, waits for image to be created. Defaults to true - however, be aware that one of the upload methods is always synchronous.
timeout – Seconds to wait for image creation. None is forever.
validate_checksum (bool) – If true and cloud returns checksum, compares return value with the one calculated or passed into this call. If value does not match - raises exception. Default is ‘false’
use_import (bool) – Use the interoperable image import mechanism to import the image. This defaults to false because it is harder on the target cloud so should only be used when needed, such as when the user needs the cloud to transform image format. If the cloud has disabled direct uploads, this will default to true.
stores – List of stores to be used when enabled_backends is activated
in glance. List values can be the id of a store or a
Store
instance.
Implies use_import
equals True
.
all_stores – Upload to all available stores. Mutually exclusive with
store
and stores
.
Implies use_import
equals True
.
all_stores_must_succeed – When set to True, if an error occurs during the upload in at
least one store, the worfklow fails, the data is deleted
from stores where copying is done (not staging), and the
state of the image is unchanged. When set to False, the
workflow will fail (data deleted from stores, …) only if the
import fails on all stores specified by the user. In case of
a partial success, the locations added to the image will be
the stores where the data has been correctly uploaded.
Default is True.
Implies use_import
equals True
.
Additional kwargs will be passed to the image creation as additional metadata for the image and will have all values converted to string except for min_disk, min_ram, size and virtual_size which will be converted to int.
If you are sure you have all of your data types correct or have an advanced need to be explicit, use meta. If you are just a normal consumer, using kwargs is likely the right choice.
If a value is in meta and kwargs, meta wins.
