Glance show_multiple_locations disabled
98+
---------------------------------------
99+
100+
Kolla Ansible no longer sets ``show_multiple_locations = True`` in Glance by
101+
default when Glance's Ceph RBD backend is enabled. This was applied as a fix
102+
but operators must note that this, in turn, disables Cinder and Nova's
103+
optimisations. In particular, this can increase instance creation times due to
104+
a lack of copy-on-write.
105+
106+
On the other hand, these optimisations might have been causing other trouble
107+
for operators. Please see `LP#1992153
108+
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/kolla-ansible/+bug/1992153>`__. Operators relying
109+
on this feature can set the flag themselves using service config overrides.
