Is there any possibility that we set a false > os-name to image by Glance, for example, the guest is fedora12, but we set it to Ubuntu13 via Glance. It of course relies on the user setting the correct operating system name for their image. If the user sets this wrong, then the guest may end up getting the wrong hardware config. > and, when would this feature be implemented in Openstack? Thanks. It is under review https://review.openstack.org/#/q/status:open+project:openstack/nova+branc... NB, this only covers configuration of disk & network drivers. In the future we'll extend it to other interesting things
