For the type, I would think either "asset" or "artifact" (along the lines of how glance is "image", and neutron is "network"). I tend to lean towards "artifact" though. As for the "default" (I assume DevStack) name, why not just "glare", the description should be "Glance Artifact Service" (which I think is slightly more end-user important than the name). >Well... we all know, naming is complicated... anyway, I'll appreciate any >feedback on this.
