Public bug reported:

Via the nova compute API I can see it is possible to GET metadata for an
instance but it does not seem to be possible to get system_metadata. It
is useful to be able to GET the system metadata fro an instance if you
want to query the point in time properties that where inherited from an
image during the launch.

I noticed in change
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/7045/5/nova/db/api.py there is a db api
definition to read this from the database but this does not seem to be
exposed in the compute api.

I assume something like the below in compute/api.py would be a starting
point to expose this.

    def get_instance_system_metadata(self, context, instance):
        """Get all system metadata associated with an instance."""
        return self.db.instance_system_metadata_get(context, instance.uuid)
