======================
|

`Glance`_ is a service to manage images for OpenStack clouds. It's one of the
|
||||
early projects in OpenStack and it's deployed in almost every OpenStack cloud.
|

Without Glance, Nova can't boot instances.

Description
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
`Glance`_ is a service to manage disk images for OpenStack clouds. It was one
|
||||
of the first projects developed in the OpenStack ecosystem. Nearly every
|
||||
OpenStack deployment contains a Glance service. Without Glance, Nova cannot
|
||||
create servers.
|
||||
|
||||
Glance is looking for new contributors who would be willing to provide reviews,
|
||||
to work on bugs, or to work on new features.

junior developers, and more senior developers. In every case, it is a great way
|

to grow and contribute to OpenStack.

Glance is a great project to ramp up on OpenStack and it's a great project for
|
||||
developers regardless of their experience. Glance has welcomed interns, junior

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|

|

Glance is a critical service in OpenStack. Contributions to the future of the
|
||||
image registry are essential to the stability of OpenStack. More importantly,
|
||||
Glance is not "done". There's significant technical debt that needs to be taken
|
||||
care of and several features that can be implemented.

|

Consistency
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
The OpenStack community continues to evolve, and this evolution requires large
|
||||
cross-project initiatives. Furthermore, users and operators expect consistency
|
||||
across the OpenStack platform. Examples from recent history include
|
||||
OpenStack-wide support for `Python 3`_ and easing operator pain by moving
|
||||
`policy configuration`_ into code. Ensuring Glance stays up-to-date with these
|
||||
initiatives is imperative in reducing operational costs, complexity, and user
|
||||
frustration.
