OpenStack 创建快照(Create Snapshot)过程源码分析
一直以为OpenStack的创建快照的操作是在线创建快照（live snapshot）, 并且应该是增量的快照，即利用virsh或者qemu的live snapshot来实现的：
virsh snapshot-create-as --live ....
后来发现快照和原始镜像之间并没有依赖关系，感觉OpenStack还做的挺好的，自动解决了增量快照和原始镜像之间的依赖关系;
但是后来又发现做快照的时候虚拟机竟然会shutoff, 就感觉不对了，于是分析了下源码。
2. 结论：目前OpenStack默认的快照方式都是cold snapshot, 首先先关机，其次执行如下命令生成一个镜像文件，再次开机，最后再调用glance api将镜像上传。
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 -O qcow2 <disk_path> <out_path>
所以目前并不是真正意义的快照，其实和关闭虚拟机，拷贝一份，再上传没有本质区别。
