yy is 100% the same as test.qcow2. You can confirm this by downloading the image to another file and comparing the files.

hi, the yy is a copy of test.qcow2 or yy is a simple name that point to test.qcow2?

yy is a name that points to a copy of test.qcow2.

You would probably benefit from reading a high-level overview of Glance.
