DescribeImages in the EC2 api is supposed to return the image name in the 'name' element, instead it is being returned in the 'displayName' element. I'm using glance, if that's relevant. I uploaded the image using the glance tool, not the nova-manage tool, but I think that the name should still be passed correctly.
Here's the XML. It all looks good other than the displayName
<DescribeImagesResponse xmlns="http://ec2.amazonaws.com/doc/2011-02-28/"><requestId>T9I7V0SAZ3U3JL-6QPTX</requestId><imagesSet><item><displayName>lucid</displayName><description/><imageOwnerId/><isPublic>true</isPublic><imageId>ami-00000001</imageId><imageState>available</imageState><architecture/><imageLocation>None (lucid)</imageLocation><imageType>machine</imageType></item><item><displayName>lucid-x86</displayName><description/><imageOwnerId/><isPublic>true</isPublic><imageId>ami-00000002</imageId><imageState>available</imageState><architecture/><imageLocation>None (lucid-x86)</imageLocation><imageType>machine</imageType></item></imagesSet></DescribeImagesResponse>"
Actually, we only claim to support up to version 2009-04-04. That version doesn't provide any name-like attribute of an image: http:// docs.amazonwebs ervices. com/AWSEC2/ 2009-04- 04/APIReference /index. html?ApiReferen ce-query- DescribeImages. html
