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 of image. Acceptable formats: ami, ari, aki, bare, and ovf.
- --owner <TENANT_ID>

- --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>
