Bug Description

The current info looks like this:

images_type = default
(String) VM Images format. If default is specified, then use_cow_images flag is used instead of this one.

There is no list of supported values, and no indication which extra configuration each of them requires. For example, that images_rbd_* options are used when images_type=rbd
