openstack small images at creation time

0

ive been looking for a way to create images that are not "RAW", downloading a created image takes up ~128Gb and just running gzip on it compresses it to ~700MB.

I am aware that you can use:

qemu-img convert -O qcow2 centos7.qcow2 centos7_small.qcow2

To compress a image and upload it again, but why is there no way to make
images sparse at creation time?
