Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The Cinder Library, also known as cinderlib, is a Python library that leverages
|
|
the Cinder project to provide an object oriented abstraction around Cinder's
|
|
storage drivers to allow their usage directly without running any of the Cinder
|
|
services or surrounding services, such as KeyStone, MySQL or RabbitMQ.
|
|
|
|
* Free software: Apache Software License 2.0
|
|
* Documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/cinderlib/latest/
|
|
|
|
The library is intended for developers who only need the basic CRUD
|
|
functionality of the drivers and don't care for all the additional features
|
|
Cinder provides such as quotas, replication, multi-tenancy, migrations,
|
|
retyping, scheduling, backups, authorization, authentication, REST API, etc.
|
|
|
|
The library was originally created as an external project, so it didn't have
|
|
the broad range of backend testing Cinder does, and only a limited number of
|
|
drivers were validated at the time. Drivers should work out of the box, and
|
|
we'll keep a list of drivers that have added the cinderlib functional tests to
|
|
the driver gates confirming they work and ensuring they will keep working.

Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
* Use a Cinder driver without running a DBMS, Message broker, or Cinder
|
|
service.
|
|
* Using multiple simultaneous drivers on the same application.
|
|
* Basic operations support:
|
|
|
|
- Create volume
|
|
- Delete volume
|
|
- Extend volume
|
|
- Clone volume
|
|
- Create snapshot
|
|
- Delete snapshot
|
|
- Create volume from snapshot
|
|
- Connect volume
|
|
- Disconnect volume
|
|
- Local attach
|
|
- Local detach
|
|
- Validate connector
|
|
- Extra Specs for specific backend functionality.
|
|
- Backend QoS
|
|
- Multi-pool support
|
|
|
|
* Metadata persistence plugins:
|
|
|
|
- Stateless: Caller stores JSON serialization.
|
|
- Database: Metadata is stored in a database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite...
|
|
- Custom plugin: Caller provides module to store Metadata and cinderlib calls
|
|
it when necessary.
