Public bug reported:

When an instance is created using boot from volume, boot from
image(creates a new volume) or boot from volume snapshot(creates a new
volume), an image of 0 bytes is created which is neither public nor
protected and have no format defined.

Steps to reproduce using Horizon:

Case 1: Boot instance from volume

1. Go to Project --> Compute --> Volumes and click on 'Create Volume'.
2. Provide volume name, Size and select 'Image' from 'Volume Source' drop-down and an image from 'Use image as a source' drop-down.
3. Click on 'Create Volume' button and a bootable volume will be created.
4. Go to Project --> Compute --> Instances and click on 'Launch Instance' button from the top right.
5. Provide instance name, select 'Boot from volume' as 'Instance Boot Source' and a bootable volume as 'volume'.
6. Click on 'Launch' button.
7. You will be redirected to instance list page.
8. Click on 'Create Snapshot' to create a snapshot of this instance.
9. In this case a new image of 0 bytes and a volume snapshot will be created.
10. You will be redirected to image list where you will see a new image created with 0 bytes.
11. Neither this image is public nor protected.
12. No format is defined for this image.

Case 2: Boot instance from image(creates a new volume)

1. Go to Project --> Compute --> Instances and click on 'Launch Instance' button from the top right.
2. Provide instance name, select 'Boot from image(creates a new volume)' as 'Instance Boot Source' and an image from the drop-down.
3. Click on 'Launch' button.
4. A new volume will be created and will be attached to this instance.
5. You will be redirected to instance list page.
6. Click on 'Create Snapshot' to create a snapshot of this instance.
7. In this case a new image of 0 bytes and a volume snapshot will be created.
8. You will be redirected to image list where you will see a new image created with 0 bytes.
9. Neither this image is public nor protected.
10. No format is defined for this image.

Case 3: Boot instance from volume snapshot(creates a new volume)

1. Go to Project --> Compute --> volumes and click on 'Create Volume' button.
2. Create a bootable volume same as case 1.
3. From volumes list page you will see 'more' button with respect to each volume.
4. Click on 'more', a drop-down will open, select 'Create Snapshot' from this drop-down.
5. A snapshot will be created for this volume.
6. Go to Project --> Compute --> Instances and click on 'Launch Instance' button from the top right.
7. Provide instance name, select 'Boot from image(creates a new volume)' as 'Instance Boot Source' and an image from the drop-down.
8. Click on 'Launch' button.
9. A new volume will be created and will be attached to this instance.
10. You will be redirected to instance list page.
11. Click on 'Create Snapshot' to create a snapshot of this instance.
12. In this case a new image of 0 bytes and a volume snapshot will be created.
13. You will be redirected to image list where you will see a new image created with 0 bytes.
14. Neither this image is public nor protected.
15. No format is defined for this image.
