--- upgrade: - | The default for ``[glance] num_retries`` has changed from ``0`` to ``3``. The option controls how many times to retry a Glance API call in response to a HTTP connection failure. When deploying Glance behind HAproxy it is possible for a response to arrive just after the HAproxy idle time. As a result, an exception will be raised when the connection is closed resulting in a failed request. By increasing the default value, Nova can be more resilient to this scenario were HAproxy is misconfigured by retrying the request.
