Public bug reported: There is no documentation for the image cache, so we should add one to the admin guide.
I think a relatively simple beginning would include: - A high level description of what an image cache is, where it lives, and the benefits. - Which compute drivers support image cache (that's not detailed here either: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/support- matrix.html), this is any driver that supports the "has_imagecache" driver capability (currently libvirt, hyperv and vmware). - The related configuration options since the options are not in a particular config option group they are all spread across DEFAULT (moving those to an [imagecache] group would probably be useful as well outside the docs change). More advanced topics could be things like known issues/limitations (maybe mdbooth can help here), some of which is probably covered in this spec: https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/ussuri/approved /image-precache-support.html ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: doc image-cache -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
