OpenStack Shared Filesystems (manila) documentation¶
What is Manila?¶
Manila is the OpenStack Shared Filesystems service for providing Shared Filesystems as a service. Some of the goals of Manila are to be/have:
Component based architecture: Quickly add new behaviors
Highly available: Scale to very serious workloads
Fault-Tolerant: Isolated processes avoid cascading failures
Recoverable: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
Open Standards: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
For end users¶
As an end user of Manila, you’ll use Manila to create a remote file system with either tools or the API directly: python-manilaclient, or by directly using the REST API.
