Cinder has always used a wiki page as the source of our support matrix. Unfortunately the wiki gives us no way to ensure that the information is accurate and makes it harder to track changes. Moving to using the sphinx-feature-classification library solves some of these problems. * It provides a programatic way to document driver support. * It allows us to ensure that documentation is updated with changes. * It will provide a snapshot of the state of driver support for a release at the time of release. This matrix will serve as the truth for Cinder's driver support. The existing wiki will be kept for historical purposes but I will make a pointer to this new documentation and indicate that no changes should be made to the wiki in the future.

Cinder, the OpenStack Block Storage Service
Cinder is an OpenStack project to provide "block storage as a service".
- 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
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Cinder and other components of OpenStack can be found on the OpenStack wiki. Cloud administrators, refer to docs.openstack.org.
