Need a property in glance metadata to indicate the vm id when create vm snapshot
In order to manage the snapshot of vm in glance conveniently, we need know which images in glance are captured from the specified VM.
So we need add new property in glance metadata when create the vm snapshot, for example:
instance_uuid which is used to save the vm uuid. This new property will help to filter the image when use the glance image-list.

Add new property 'instance_uuid' in the image metadata for vmware driver

Is there a related glance blueprint to use the new property on the image metadata? Please link that here.
Also, I think we're going to want a Tempest scenario test to go with this since it's something that's cross-project.

@mriedem, we need not any changes in glance since glance already support to use a property to filter the result of the image-list ( That is the --property-filter ), we can reuse that.

If you are still working on this, please re-submit via nova-specs. If not, please mark as obsolete, and add a quick comment to describe why. --johnthetubaguy (20th April 2014)
==================
What is the use case here? If you're storing the instance uuid in the glance image and then the instance is deleted, the image is worthless right? What is the point of filtering these images out in glance? If we knew the use case then I guess this might make more sense. -- mriedem 2014/03/20
The compute API already automatically stores the instance UUID on the image when it's created via snapshot:

So this is handled long before the virt driver is called so blueprint save-instance-
