Making location optional doesn't really make sense. We don't have any mechanism in a template to upload data, so it would just create an empty shell that you can't use to boot instances from. I think this is going where I thought it would: let's not do anything. The image resource is there for v1 compatibility, but there is no point to have a v2 resource, at least right now. We could document how to hide the resource in Heat if you don't deploy Glance v1. -- Thomas __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
