no image found with name %v

Error message

no image found with name %v

What it means

The OpenStack Glance image list filtered by exact name returned zero results. kops resolves the node image by name before creating instances, so an empty result means the configured image name does not exist in the project/region visible to the credentials.

Solutions

1. Verify the image name in the cluster spec matches an existing Glance image (openstack image list)
2. Check the project/region the credentials are scoped to
3. Upload or import the image, or point the spec at an existing one
