Press Release

OpenStack Announces Images Tasks API

Available now with the Havana OpenStack release, the Images v2 Tasks API provides cloud users with a unified interface for performing image-related tasks. Three tasks are currently available: import, export, and clone. You simply make a post to /v2/tasks with specifics about the task in the request body, and receive a Location header with the URI of a task resource. By polling the task resource, you'll be kept informed about the status of your task until it reaches its conclusion. At that point, the task resource will contain information concerning the product of your task (e.g., the UUID of the image that was imported). It will also have an expiration timestamp to indicate when the task resource itself will be deleted.
