ovirt-imageio

ovirt-imageio enables uploading and downloading of disks and snapshots using HTTPS.

The project is composed of two services:

• Daemon - expose images over HTTPS, allowing clients to read and write images. This part is developed in this project.

• Proxy - allowing clients without access to the host network to perform I/O disk operations. This part is developed in this project.

How this project is related to other oVirt projects?

• vdsm - control and monitor imageio daemon, prepare and finalize upload and download operations.

• engine - manage upload and download operations, communicating with vdsm and imageio proxy.
