That could be done but we'd need to establish an agreed name so that Horizon or the CLIs, for example, could filter based on description. "Give me all VMs with Ansys in the description".If we use properties, a consistent approach would be needed so the higher level tooling could rely on it (and hide the implementation details). Currently, I don't think Horizon lets you set properties for an image or a VM.
mmh, I'm not sure about this either (whether horizon allows you to do that or not) but I'd recommend using properties too. Flavio

Has anyone looked at doing something similar for Nova for instances and Glance for images ? In many cases, the names get heavily overloaded with information. TimWouldn't it be appropriate/simple to just specify a metadata like description="this is what it's used for"?
