openstack.image.v1.image

The Image Class

The Image class inherits from Resource.

class openstack.image.v1.image.Image(_synchronized=False, connection=None, **attrs)

The base resource

Parameters

  • _synchronized (bool) – This is not intended to be used directly. See new() and existing().

  • connection (openstack.connection.Connection) – Reference to the Connection being used. Defaults to None to allow Resource objects to be used without an active Connection, such as in unit tests. Use of self._connection in Resource code should protect itself with a check for None.

checksum

Hash of the image data used. The Image service uses this value for verification.

container_format

The container format refers to whether the VM image is in a file format that also contains metadata about the actual VM. Container formats include OVF and Amazon AMI. In addition, a VM image might not have a container format - instead, the image is just a blob of unstructured data.

copy_from

A URL to copy an image from

created_at

The timestamp when this image was created.

disk_format

Valid values are: aki, ari, ami, raw, iso, vhd, vdi, qcow2, or vmdk. The disk format of a VM image is the format of the underlying disk image. Virtual appliance vendors have different formats for laying out the information contained in a VM disk image.

is_protected

Defines whether the image can be deleted. Type: bool

is_public

True if this is a public image. Type: bool

min_disk

The minimum disk size in GB that is required to boot the image.

min_ram
