OpenStack already has a variety of storage capabilities offered through Cinder, and Manila. In the Mitaka release, we plan to embark on an adventure to add new storage integration features into Magnum to allow these resources to be utilized from your containerized applications. Come to this session to affirm our current priorities for adding storage features. For example, we would like to add support for cinder volumes with filesystems automatically created by Heat/Magnum that are added to the host, and shared with the container by using "-e" hints in Docker that can be used in combination with "-v" flags with Docker to conenct a new/existing volume to a particular container. We would also like to leverage Manila to expose a given filesystem to multiple containers so they can have a consistent filesystem view across multiple containers on multiple hosts.

We propose to introduce the concept of "replicated shares" to Manila where shares can exist in more than one AZ, allowing users to protect themselves from outages (planned and unplanned) by keeping copies of their data in different failure domains.

Snapshots in Manila originally only allow 1 narrow use case: creating new shares from snapshots. Not only is it hard or impossible for some backend implementations to support that use case, but it's needlessly expensive way to solve many real world problems. We propose to support new APIs that allow snapshots to be used in different ways, and to provide a mechanism for end users to discover which semantics are supported by a given instance of Manila.
