Description
Extend the Synnefo mechanism to support user-provided Images.
This has implications in several areas:
a) Image upload, Image store: Pithos will be used as the Image store, or any other service the user chooses. Initially, the Images will be accessible over HTTP.
b) Image registry: The Synnefo API implementation must be extended to support Image registration, query, metadata modification and deletion. We will implement the Glance API. Command-line API clients need to be extended accordingly. (#989)
c) Image use: Ability to spawn VMs from custom images. Extend image deployment mechanism in the backend to fetch Images over HTTP. (#985, #987)
d) Image creation: Tool to bundle an existing installation into an Image, to be uploaded to Pithos.
e) the mechanism must treat Images as completely untrusted. See #969
