This is an image to deploy on top of Openstack.  While you can deploy
Openstack on the image, it isn't made for that purpose.

Something like this is needed to import it into glance.

glance image-create --name gentoo-20150608 --disk-format qcow2
--container-format bare --is-public True --min-disk 5 --min-ram 512
--file gentoo-amd64-multilib_2015-06-08.qcow2 --progress
