Hi@akhtar,

You have to first download one preinstalled image in your system. You can go through the below-given link.

https://fedoraproject.org/server/download

Now you have to log in to your OpenStack cloud and run the below command. It will automatically create an image in OpenStack.

$ source keystonerc_demo
[root@openstack ~(keystone_demo)]#  glance image-create --file Fedora-Cloud-Base-32-1.6.x86_64.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2 --container-format bare --name fed64
