Ian,

I value your input, but concern still stands.  Amazon's compute API moves 
slowly in comparison to Docker registry's API.  Making a parity implementation 
to the Docker v2 registry API is a complex and difficult challenge.  It is much 
more significant then simply making an API.  An implementation needs to stand 
behind that API.

However, interested parties could start a project like the ec2 project that is 
independently released and provides that compatibility using glare

Kevin,

Agree it would be a very useful feature, however, easier said then done.  Part 
of Docker's approach is to "move fast";they schedule releases every 2 months.  
I'm sure the glare team is quite competent, however, keeping API parity on such 
a fast moving project such as the docker registry API is a big objective not to 
be undertaken lightly.  If  there isn't complete API parity with the docker 
rregistry v2 API, the work wouldn't be particularly useful to many in the 
container communities inside OpenStack as Hongbin pointed out.

If glare was docker repo api compatible though, I think it would be quite 
useful. then each tenant doesn't have to set one up themselves.

Thanks,
Kevin

Thank you all for your responses!

Also, I want to say, that Glare was designed as an open project and we want to 
build a good community with members from different companies. Glare suppose to 
be a backend for Heat (and therefore TripleO), App-Catalog, Tacker and 
definitely Nova. In addition we are considering the possibility of storage 
Docker containers, which may be useful for Magnum.

[Hongbin Lu] Magnum doesn’t have any plan to store docker images at Glare, 
because COE (i.e. Kubernetes) is simply incompatible with any API other than 
docker registry. Zun might have use cases to store docker images at Glare if 
Glare is part of Glance, but I am reluctant to set a dependency on Glare if 
Glare is a totally branch new service.

Then, I think that comparison between Image API and Artifact API is not 
correct. Moreover, in my opinion Image API imposes artificial constraints. Just 
imagine that your file system can only store images in JPG format (more 
precisely, it could store any data, but it is imperative that all files must 
have the extension ".jpg"). Likewise Glance - I can put there any data, it can 
be both packages and templates, as well as video from my holiday. And this 
interface, though not ideal, may not work for all services. But those 
artificial limitations that have been created, do Glance uncomfortable even for 
storing images.

On the other hand Glare provides unified interface for all possible binary data 
types. If we take the example with filesystem, in Glare's case it supports all 
file extensions, folders, history of file changes on your disk, data validation 
and conversion, import/export files from different computers and so on. These 
features are not presented in Glance and I think they never will, because of 
deficiencies in the architecture.

For this reason I think Glare's adoption is important and it will be a huge 
step forward for OpenStack and the whole community.

Thanks again! If you want to support us, please vote for our talk on Barcelona 
summit - https://www.openstack.org/summit/barcelona-2016/vote-for-speakers/ 
Search "Glare" and there will be our presentation.

Best,
Mike

The confusion is the current state of two API's, not having a future
integrated API.

Remember how well that served us with nova-network and neutron (né
quantum).

I also agree with Tim's point.  Yes if a new project is fully
documented and integrated well into packaging and config management
implementing it is trivial, but history again teaches this is a long
road.

It also means extra dev overhead to create and mange these
supporting structures to hide the complexity from end users. Now if
the two project are sufficiently different this may not be a
significant delta as the new docs and config management code would be
need in the old project if the new service stayed stayed there.
