The constant demand for file-based systems is easily explained by the extensive growth of the software market. The success of diverse OpenStack applications mostly depends on their flexibility, scalability, simplicity, and performance directly related to the optimal file-based solution.
We have accomplished the Manila implementation in our product to provide FishOS customers with helpful file sharing and distribution tools.
Manila is an OpenStack service for a shared file system. The service functionality includes self-service provisioning and access to file-shares control, making it possible to manage instances in OpenStack clouds, including multi-tenant environments. OpenStack Manila supports a variety of backends (NFS, CIFS, CephFS, GlusterFS, HDFS, and others).
Originally Manila was an addition to a separate File Share Service delivered with the Cinder project. Thus, it gave the opportunity of common code usage. Later, in 2013, the project was established as an independent development.
Due to its design and implementation, Manila offers extensibility for multiple backends to support specific features and capabilities of the file system. On another side, Manila can accommodate a wide range of shared or distributed types of file systems.
OpenStack Manila service functionality helps FishOS users:
– to create and delete file system shares
– to list, show and manage access
– to establish file share access rules
– to coordinate the mounting/unmounting of file systems shares
– to manage snapshots of file system shares
