You can save images in Cloud X which are not necessarily in a format which is bootable in Cloud X. (Maybe two clouds are federated, maybe you just want to backup your image.)\n\nSo, even if \u0027qcow2\u0027 is the native format, I may want my \u0027vhd\u0027 to stay a \u0027vhd\u0027 (if the operator allows that).\n\nIs that something we\u0027re allowing for?","commit_id":"0c8bbfa77f8f7cdb3f5c269c3d0e39d016374a05"},{"author":{"_account_id":6159,"name":"Flavio Percoco Premoli","display_name":"flaper87","email":"flavio.percoco@flyrlabs.com","username":"flaper87"},"change_message_id":"350298d2e474e128e886f3a52ef1f5b12160a80d","unresolved":false,"context_lines":[{"line_number":10,"context_line":"is without requiring the user to pass this information over.

It makes it easier to reason about.\n\nThe target_* fields as they are expressed in the spec require the user to have knowledge about things users normally don\u0027t care about. I said normally as, like you said, there could be a case where a user might want the images to stay as-is. \n\nI believe that shouldn\u0027t be part of this spec just like conversion isn\u0027t. I\u0027d like us to reduce the number of required fields from users, especially in this new endpoint so that we can evolve from a minimum starting point.\n\nI don\u0027t think client side conversion has been discussed. If we ever consider that, I don\u0027t think it should be in glanceclient. There are enough tools out there to do that.\n\nHope this makes sense.","commit_id":"0c8bbfa77f8f7cdb3f5c269c3d0e39d016374a05"},{"author":{"_account_id":455,"name":"Stuart McLaren","email":"stuart.mclaren@hpe.com","username":"stuart-mclaren"},"change_message_id":"e6da96f4adaa182722c812a0c32831c8b8b62a2e","unresolved":false,"context_lines":[{"line_number":10,"context_line":"is without requiring the user to pass this information over.
