A virtual machine image is a single file which contains a virtual disk that has a bootable operating system installed on it.
It is stored in filesystem.
Glance is the project which provides discovery, registration, and delivery services for disk images in OpenStack
For more details you can refer following documentation:

Can't Glance use Swift as it's backend? – GregL Apr 18 '18 at 19:47
