Get the list of OpenStack images with optional filtering.
The filtering behavior is as follows:
- By default, all available images are returned without any filtering applied.
- Filters are only applied when specific values are provided by the user.
create_image
Create a new Openstack image.
This method handles both cases of image creation:
1. If a volume is provided, it creates an image from the volume.
2. If no volume is provided, it creates an image using the Image imports method
import_options field is required for this method.
Following import methods are supported:
- glance-direct: The image data is made available to the Image service via the Stage binary
- web-download: The image data is made available to the Image service by being posted to an accessible location with a URL that you know.
- must provide a URI to the image data.
- copy-image: The image data is made available to the Image service by copying existing image
- glance-download: The image data is made available to the Image service by fetching an image accessible from another glance service specified by a region name and an image id that you know.
- must provide a glance_region and glance_image_id.
