Overview

This proposal aims to recover an image which is in 'pending-delete' state so as to provide the revert capability for the purposes of allowing emergency operational action to recover from an accidental delete

General Workflow

  1. The 'delayed_delete' config entry is enabled in glance-api.conf
  2. Delete the specific image
  3. List the images which are 'pending-delete'
  4. User PUT /v2/images/{image-uuid} on the requested image to recover it
  5. Eventually, the requested image should be in 'active' state after recovering successfully.

Design Details

Now in my PoC, I'm using 'PUT' as the REST API method. But TBO, I'm not sure if 'PUT' is a good condidate for image recover. Since PUT need to support **Idempotent**.

HTTP Request - PUT /v2/images/12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc
Response: 200 OK

Known code impact

1. List pending-delete image
2. Only the image which in 'active' status can be updated to 'pending_delete'
