Architecture options for Glance

One Glance with multiple backends

There is one central Glance what is capable to handle multiple backends. Every edge cloud instance is represented by a backend. The syncronisation of the image data is the responsibility of the backend (eg.: Ceph). OpenStack services in the edge cloud instances are using the images in the Glance backend directly.
