Before working with the Image service, you’ll need to create a connection
to your OpenStack cloud by following the Connect user guide. This will
provide you with the conn
variable used in the examples below.
The primary resource of the Image service is the image.
An image is a collection of files for a specific operating system that you use to create or rebuild a server. OpenStack provides pre-built images. You can also create custom images, or snapshots, from servers that you have launched. Images come in different formats and are sometimes called virtual machine images.
