I have a large number of images for different operating systems and their various versions. Needless to say, these images are quite large (>1GB).
I have automated the process of booting new instances and part of the step is to issue the xapi call import_raw_vdi that specifies the VDI Reference and uploads the raw image via POST to import. This process is painfully slow even on 1GB interfaces and I was looking for a way to POST the image gzip compressed. Would this method be possible if I specified a certain HTTP Header (such as Content-Encoding) so a much smaller image could be sent over the wire? Any other recommendations that may correct my thinking/design are also more than welcome.
