A fair number of proposals have been floated for increasing image download/upload performance by giving Nova direct access to the underlying image storage for Glance. In this session we will discuss the right way for Glance to enable these kinds of image access and concrete improvements that can be made in Havana.
One particularly hairy issue is exposing underlying image locations, which sometimes contain sensitive information that cannot be revealed to end users of Glance.
Additional possible performance-boosting topics: * booting from volumes-as-images * Image diffs * Data transfer service
