Image Statuses
==============

Images in Glance can be in one the following statuses:

* ``queued``

  The image identifier has been reserved for an image in the Glance
  registry. No image data has been uploaded to Glance and the image
  size was not explicitly set to zero on creation.

* ``saving``

  Denotes that an image's raw data is currently being uploaded to Glance.
  When an image is registered with a call to `POST /images` and there
  is an `x-image-meta-location` header present, that image will never be in
  the `saving` status (as the image data is already available in some other
  location).

* ``active``

  Denotes an image that is fully available in Glance. This occurs when
  the image data is uploaded, or the image size is explicitly set to
  zero on creation.

* ``killed``

  Denotes that an error occurred during the uploading of an image's data,
  and that the image is not readable.

* ``deleted``

  Glance has retained the information about the image, but it is no longer
  available to use. An image in this state will be removed automatically
  at a later date.

* ``pending_delete``

  This is similiar to `deleted`, however, Glance has not yet removed the
  image data. An image in this state is recoverable.
