Central Image Repository
Enjoy stress-free updates through OpenStack’s centralized image storage service.
Duplication
OpenStack’s image storage service provides users with the ability to copy or take a snapshot of a server image and store it away.
Resolves Configuration Drift
Through the immutable server and centralized image repository that encompasses your entire infrastructure, updates are made unanimously, eliminating the possibility of configuration drift.
Makes Use of Copy-on-Write
Employ OpenStack’s image storage’s copy-on-write to ensure quick and efficient booting of your servers.
Saves Money
Through copy-on-write’s thin provisioning, users can reduce their disk usage, in turn reducing their costs.
