Use vSphere Datastore backend for Glance with vCenter
Feature Lead: Andrey Danin
Mandatory Design Reviewers: Vitaly Kramskikh
Developers: Stepan Rogov, Anton Zemlyanov
QA: Tetiana Dubyk, Aleksandr Kosse
It takes a lot of time for copying images from Glance (with Filesystem, Swift or Ceph backends) to vCenter Datastore and vice versa when vCenter is used as a hypervisor. Practically, creating a snapshot of 1GB VM may take 15-30 minutes to upload a snapshot from vCenter to Glance. This is the way how Fuel 5.0 and 5.1 work now.
There is a VMDK backend for Glance [0] which stores all the data inside of vCenter Datastore, so the copying process should be much more faster. So, let reuse it in case of vCenter integration.
