Amount of disk space (in GB) required to boot image.
--visibility <VISIBILITY>
Scope of image accessibility Valid values: public,
private
--kernel-id <KERNEL_ID>
ID of image stored in Glance that should be used as
the kernel when booting an AMI-style image.
--tags <TAGS> [<TAGS> ...]
List of strings related to the image
--os-version <OS_VERSION>
Operating system version as specified by the
distributor
--disk-format <DISK_FORMAT>

--min-ram <MIN_RAM> Amount of ram (in MB) required to boot image.
--container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT>
Format of the container Valid values: ami, ari, aki,
bare, ovf, ova, docker
--property <key=value>

[--progress]
Create a new image.
Optional arguments:
--id <IMAGE_ID> ID of image to reserve.
--name <NAME> Name of image.
--store <STORE> Store to upload image to.
--disk-format <DISK_FORMAT>
Disk format of image. Acceptable formats: ami, ari,
aki, vhd, vmdk, raw, qcow2, vdi, and iso.
--container-format <CONTAINER_FORMAT>
Container format of image. Acceptable formats: ami,
ari, aki, bare, and ovf.
--owner <TENANT_ID> Tenant who should own image.
--size <SIZE> Size of image data (in bytes). Only used with '--
location' and '--copy_from'.
--min-disk <DISK_GB> Minimum size of disk needed to boot image (in
gigabytes).
--min-ram <DISK_RAM> Minimum amount of ram needed to boot image (in
megabytes).
--location <IMAGE_URL>
URL where the data for this image already resides. For
example, if the image data is stored in swift, you
could specify 'swift+http://tenant%3Aaccount:key@auth_
url/v2.0/container/obj'. (Note: '%3A' is ':' URL
encoded.)
--file <FILE> Local file that contains disk image to be uploaded
during creation. Alternatively, images can be passed
to the client via stdin.
--checksum <CHECKSUM>
Hash of image data used Glance can use for
verification. Provide a md5 checksum here.
--copy-from <IMAGE_URL>
Similar to '--location' in usage, but this indicates
that the Glance server should immediately copy the
data and store it in its configured image store.
--is-public {True,False}
Make image accessible to the public.
--is-protected {True,False}
Prevent image from being deleted.
--property <key=value>
