[worker-multiplier](https://charmhub.io/glance/configurations#worker-multiplier) [Learn about configurations >](https://juju.is/docs/juju/configuration#heading--application-configuration) * action-managed-upgrade | boolean If True enables openstack upgrades for this charm via juju actions. You will still need to set openstack-origin to the new repository but instead of an upgrade running automatically across all units, it will wait for you to execute the openstack-upgrade action for this charm on each unit. If False it will revert to existing behavior of upgrading all units on config change. * api-config-flags | string Comma-separated list of key=value pairs to be added to glance-api.conf where 'value' may itself be a comma-separated list of values to be assigned to the 'key'. * audit-middleware | boolean Enable Keystone auditing middleware for logging API calls. * bluestore-compression-algorithm | string Compressor to use (if any) for pools requested by this charm. . NOTE: The ceph-osd charm sets a global default for this value (defaults to 'lz4' unless configured by the end user) which will be used unless specified for individual pools. * bluestore-compression-max-blob-size | int Chunks larger than this are broken into smaller blobs sizing bluestore compression max blob size before being compressed on pools requested by this charm. * bluestore-compression-max-blob-size-hdd | int Value of bluestore compression max blob size for rotational media on pools requested by this charm. * bluestore-compression-max-blob-size-ssd | int Value of bluestore compression max blob size for solid state media on pools requested by this charm. * bluestore-compression-min-blob-size | int Chunks smaller than this are never compressed on pools requested by this charm. * bluestore-compression-min-blob-size-hdd | int Value of bluestore compression min blob size for rotational media on pools requested by this charm. * bluestore-compression-min-blob-size-ssd | int Value of bluestore compression min blob size for solid state media on pools requested by this charm. * bluestore-compression-mode | string Policy for using compression on pools requested by this charm. . 'none' means never use compression. 'passive' means use compression when clients hint that data is compressible. 'aggressive' means use compression unless clients hint that data is not compressible. 'force' means use compression under all circumstances even if the clients hint that the data is not compressible. * bluestore-compression-required-ratio | float The ratio of the size of the data chunk after compression relative to the original size must be at least this small in order to store the compressed version on pools requested by this charm. * ceph-osd-replication-count | int Default: 3 This value dictates the number of replicas ceph must make of any object it stores within the images rbd pool. Of course, this only applies if using Ceph as a backend store. Note that once the images rbd pool has been created, changing this value will not have any effect (although it can be changed in ceph by manually configuring your ceph cluster). * ceph-pool-weight | int Default: 5 Defines a relative weighting of the pool as a percentage of the total amount of data in the Ceph cluster. This effectively weights the number of placement groups for the pool created to be appropriately portioned to the amount of data expected. For example, if the compute images for the OpenStack compute instances are expected to take up 20% of the overall configuration then this value would be specified as 20. Note - it is important to choose an appropriate value for the pool weight as this directly affects the number of placement groups which will be created for the pool. The number of placement groups for a pool can only be increased, never decreased - so it is important to identify the percent of data that will likely reside in the pool. * cinder-http-retries | int Default: 3 Number of cinderclient retries on failed http calls. * cinder-state-transition-timeout | int Default: 30 Time period of time in seconds to wait for a cinder volume transition to complete. * cinder-volume-types | string Comma separated list of cinder volume\_types that can be configured as cinder storage backends. The first one in the list will be configured as the default backend. * container-formats | string Comma separated list of container formats that Glance will support. * custom-import-properties | string Set custom image properties when images are imported using the interoperable image import process. Properties and their value are delimited by commas, and values with colons and spaces are possible. The properties specified here will be added to the glance-api configuration file without being validated. Example: 'prop1:val1,prop2:val-2,prop3:val:with:colons' * database | string Default: glance Glance database name. * database-user | string Default: glance Database username * debug | boolean Enable debug logging. * disk-formats | string Default: ami,ari,aki,vhd,vmdk,raw,qcow2,vdi,iso,root-tar Comma separated list of disk formats that Glance will support. * dns-ha | boolean Use DNS HA with MAAS 2.0. Note if this is set do not set vip settings below. * ec-profile-crush-locality | string (lrc plugin) The type of the crush bucket in which each set of chunks defined by l will be stored. For instance, if it is set to rack, each group of l chunks will be placed in a different rack. It is used to create a CRUSH rule step such as step choose rack. If it is not set, no such grouping is done. * ec-profile-device-class | string Device class from CRUSH map to use for placement groups for erasure profile - valid values: ssd, hdd or nvme (or leave unset to not use a device class). * ec-profile-durability-estimator | int (shec plugin - c) The number of parity chunks each of which includes each data chunk in its calculation range. The number is used as a durability estimator. For instance, if c=2, 2 OSDs can be down without losing data. * ec-profile-helper-chunks | int (clay plugin - d) Number of OSDs requested to send data during recovery of a single chunk. d needs to be chosen such that k+1 <= d <= k+m-1. Larger the d, the better the savings. * ec-profile-k | int Default: 1 Number of data chunks that will be used for EC data pool. K+M factors should never be greater than the number of available zones (or hosts) for balancing. * ec-profile-locality | int (lrc plugin - l) Group the coding and data chunks into sets of size l. For instance, for k=4 and m=2, when l=3 two groups of three are created. Each set can be recovered without reading chunks from another set. Note that using the lrc plugin does incur more raw storage usage than isa or jerasure in order to reduce the cost of recovery operations. * ec-profile-m | int Default: 2 Number of coding chunks that will be used for EC data pool. K+M factors should never be greater than the number of available zones (or hosts) for balancing. * ec-profile-name | string Name for the EC profile to be created for the EC pools. If not defined a profile name will be generated based on the name of the pool used by the application. * ec-profile-plugin | string Default: jerasure EC plugin to use for this applications pool. The following list of plugins acceptable - jerasure, lrc, isa, shec, clay. * ec-profile-scalar-mds | string (clay plugin) specifies the plugin that is used as a building block in the layered construction. It can be one of jerasure, isa, shec (defaults to jerasure). * ec-profile-technique | string EC profile technique used for this applications pool - will be validated based on the plugin configured via ec-profile-plugin. Supported techniques are ‘reed\_sol\_van’, ‘reed\_sol\_r6\_op’, ‘cauchy\_orig’, ‘cauchy\_good’, ‘liber8tion’ for jerasure, ‘reed\_sol\_van’, ‘cauchy’ for isa and ‘single’, ‘multiple’ for shec. * ec-rbd-metadata-pool | string Name of the metadata pool to be created (for RBD use-cases). If not defined a metadata pool name will be generated based on the name of the data pool used by the application. The metadata pool is always replicated, not erasure coded. * expose-image-locations | boolean Default: True Expose underlying image locations via the API. Enabling this is useful especially when using Ceph for image storage. Only disable this option if you do not wish to use copy-on-write clones of RAW format images with Ceph in Cinder and Nova. . NOTE: When S3 backend is enabled, this value will be ignored. The charm will not expose the image location for all backends not to expose S3 credentials. * filesystem-store-datadir | string Default: /var/lib/glance/images/ Directory to which the filesystem backend store writes images. Upon start up, Glance creates the directory if it doesn’t already exist and verifies write access to the user under which glance-api runs. If the write access isn’t available, a BadStoreConfiguration exception is raised and the filesystem store may not be available for adding new images. NOTE: This directory is used only when filesystem store is used as a storage backend. * ha-bindiface | string Default: eth0 Default network interface on which HA cluster will bind to communication with the other members of the HA Cluster. * ha-mcastport | int Default: 5444 Default multicast port number that will be used to communicate between HA Cluster nodes. * haproxy-client-timeout | int Client timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA configurations. If not provided, default value of 90000ms is used. * haproxy-connect-timeout | int Connect timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA configurations. If not provided, default value of 9000ms is used. * haproxy-queue-timeout | int Queue timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA configurations. If not provided, default value of 9000ms is used. * haproxy-server-timeout | int Server timeout configuration in ms for haproxy, used in HA configurations. If not provided, default value of 90000ms is used. * harden | string Apply system hardening. Supports a space-delimited list of modules to run. Supported modules currently include os, ssh, apache and mysql. * image-conversion | boolean Enable conversion of all images to raw format during image import, only supported on stein or newer. This only works on imported images (for example using 'openstack image create --import') Does not work on regular image uploads (like 'openstack image create') * image-size-cap | string Default: 1TB Maximum size of image a user can upload. Defaults to 1TB (1099511627776 bytes). Example values: 500M, 500MB, 5G, 5TB. Valid units: K, KB, M, MB, G, GB, T, TB, P, PB. If no units provided, bytes are assumed. . WARNING: this value should only be increased after careful consideration and must be set to a value under 8EB (9223372036854775808 bytes). * nagios\_context | string Default: juju Used by the nrpe-external-master subordinate charm. A string that will be prepended to instance name to set the host name in nagios. So for instance the hostname would be something like 'juju-myservice-0'. If you are running multiple environments with the same services in them this allows you to differentiate between them. * nagios\_servicegroups | string A comma-separated list of nagios service groups. If left empty, the nagios\_context will be used as the servicegroup * openstack-origin | string Default: yoga Repository from which to install. May be one of the following: distro (default), ppa:somecustom/ppa, a deb url sources entry, or a supported Ubuntu Cloud Archive e.g. . cloud:- cloud:-/updates cloud:-/staging cloud:-/proposed . See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/CloudArchive for info on which cloud archives are available and supported. . NOTE: updating this setting to a source that is known to provide a later version of OpenStack will trigger a software upgrade unless action-managed-upgrade is set to True. * os-admin-hostname | string The hostname or address of the admin endpoints created for glance in the keystone identity provider. . This value will be used for admin endpoints. For example, an os-admin-hostname set to 'glance.admin.example.com' with ssl enabled will create a admin endpoint for glance of: . https://glance.admin.example.com:9292/ * os-admin-network | string The IP address and netmask of the OpenStack Admin network (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24) . This network will be used for admin endpoints. * os-internal-hostname | string The hostname or address of the internal endpoints created for glance in the keystone identity provider. . This value will be used for internal endpoints. For example, an os-internal-hostname set to 'glance.internal.example.com' with ssl enabled will create a internal endpoint for glance of: . https://glance.internal.example.com:9292/ * os-internal-network | string The IP address and netmask of the OpenStack Internal network (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24) . This network will be used for internal endpoints. * os-public-hostname | string The hostname or address of the public endpoints created for glance in the keystone identity provider. . This value will be used for public endpoints. For example, an os-public-hostname set to 'glance.example.com' with ssl enabled will create a public endpoint for glance of: . https://glance.example.com:9292/ * os-public-network | string The IP address and netmask of the OpenStack Public network (e.g. 192.168.0.0/24) . This network will be used for public endpoints. * pool-type | string Default: replicated Ceph pool type to use for storage - valid values include ‘replicated’ and ‘erasure-coded’. * prefer-ipv6 | boolean If True enables IPv6 support. The charm will expect network interfaces to be configured with an IPv6 address. If set to False (default) IPv4 is expected. . NOTE: these charms do not currently support IPv6 privacy extension. In order for this charm to function correctly, the privacy extension must be disabled and a non-temporary address must be configured/available on your network interface. * rabbit-user | string Default: glance Username to request access on rabbitmq-server. * rabbit-vhost | string Default: openstack RabbitMQ virtual host to request access on rabbitmq-server. * rados-connect-timeout | int Default: 1200 The amount of time to wait to try and connect to rados. This allows to connect to other backends if those are also configured. NOTE: This will only be effective if multiple backends are configured, otherwise the value will be ignored. * rbd-pool-name | string Optionally specify an existing rbd pool that cinder should map to. * region | string Default: RegionOne OpenStack Region * registry-config-flags | string Comma-separated list of key=value pairs to be added to glance-registry.conf where 'value' may itself be a comma-separated list of values to be assigned to the 'key'. * restrict-ceph-pools | boolean Optionally restrict Ceph key permissions to access pools as required. * restrict-image-location-operations | boolean If this is set to True, all \*\_image\_location operations in the Glance api will be restricted to role:admin which will result in non-admin users no longer being able to view the "locations" information for an image. This only affects environments that have expose-image-locations set to True. WARNING: enabling this restriction will cause Nova to no longer be able to create COW clones or snapshots for non-admin users when using the RBDImageBackend in the nova-compute charm. * s3-store-access-key | string Access key for authenticating to the S3 storage server. * s3-store-bucket | string Bucket name where the glance images will be stored in the S3 server. * s3-store-host | string Location where S3 server is listening. Can be a DNS name or an IP address. The value must start with the schema (http:// or https://). e.g., https://s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com or http://my-object-storage.example.com:8080 . NOTE: The S3 backend can be enabled only for Ussuri or later releases with this charm. Enabling S3 backend will override expose-image-locations as false not to expose S3 credentials through Glance API. * s3-store-secret-key | string Secret key for authenticating to the S3 storage server. * ssl\_ca | string SSL CA to use with the certificate and key provided - this is only required if you are providing a privately signed ssl\_cert and ssl\_key. * ssl\_cert | string SSL certificate to install and use for API ports. Setting this value and ssl\_key will enable reverse proxying, point Glance's entry in the Keystone catalog to use https, and override any certificate and key issued by Keystone (if it is configured to do so). * ssl\_key | string SSL key to use with certificate specified as ssl\_cert. * use-internal-endpoints | boolean Openstack mostly defaults to using public endpoints for internal communication between services. If set to True this option will configure services to use internal endpoints where possible. * use-policyd-override | boolean If True then use the resource file named 'policyd-override' to install override YAML files in the service's policy.d directory. The resource file should be a ZIP file containing at least one yaml file with a .yaml or .yml extension. If False then remove the overrides. * use-syslog | boolean Setting this to True will allow supporting services to log to syslog. * verbose | boolean Enable verbose logging. * vip | string Virtual IP(s) to use to front API services in HA configuration. . If multiple networks are being used, a VIP should be provided for each network, separated by spaces. * vip\_cidr | int Default: 24 Default CIDR netmask to use for HA vip when it cannot be automatically determined. * vip\_iface | string Default: eth0 Default network interface to use for HA vip when it cannot be automatically determined. * worker-multiplier | float The CPU core multiplier to use when configuring worker processes for this service. By default, the number of workers for each daemon is set to twice the number of CPU cores a service unit has. This default value will be capped to 4 workers unless this configuration option is set.
