Upload image into glance¶

To deploy applications with murano, virtual machine images should be uploaded into glance in a special way - murano_image_info property should be set.

1. Use the OpenStack client image create command to import your disk image to glance:

openstack image create --public \
> --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare \
> --file <IMAGE_FILE> --property <IMAGE_METADATA> <NAME>

Replace the command line arguments to openstack image create with the appropriate values for your environment and disk image:

• Replace <IMAGE_FILE> with the local path to the image file to upload. E.g. ws-2012-std.qcow2.
• Replace <IMAGE_METADATA> with the following property string
• Replace <NAME> with the name that users will refer to the disk image by. E.g. ws-2012-std

murano_image_info='{"title": "Windows 2012 Standard Edition", "type": "windows.2012"}'

where:

• title - user-friendly description of the image
• type - murano image type, see Murano image types

2. To update metadata of the existing image run the command:

openstack image set --property <IMAGE_MATADATA> <IMAGE_ID>

• Replace <IMAGE_METADATA> with murano_image_info property, e.g.
• Replace <IMAGE_ID> with image id from the previous command output.

murano_image_info='{"title": "Windows 2012 Standard Edition", "type": "windows.2012"}'

After these steps desired image can be chosen in application creation wizard.
