They looked like convenience APIs. A short history lesson, why they got introduced, would be cool. I only found commit [1] which looks like they were there from the beginning. References: [1] https://github.com/openstack/python-novaclient/commit/7304ed80df265b3b11a0018a826ce2e38c052572#diff-56f10b3a40a197d5691da75c2b847d31R33The short history lesson is nova image API existed before glance. Glance was a spin out from Nova of that API. Doing so doesn't immediately make that API go away however. Especially as all these things live on different ports with different end points. So the image API remained as a proxy (as did volumes, baremetal, and even to some extend networks). It's not super clear how you deprecate and remove these things without breaking a lot of people, as a lot of the libraries implement the nova image resources - https://github.com/fog/fog-openstack/blob/master/lib/fog/openstack/compute.rb
We can deprecate it without removing it. We make it work with v2 and start warning people that the API is not supported anymore. We don't fix bugs in that API but tell people to use the newer version. I think that should do it, unless I'm missing something. Flavio
