Exactly why do you want to communicate directly with the backend storage systems? Streaming image bits through Glance appears to be "needless and inefficient", but if an end-user is booting 1K instances from some custom image, Glance's image cache makes an enormous difference in delivery time. So I'm curious about what exactly the use cases for direct backend storage communication are, and why Glance can't meet them. cheers, brian __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
