*****************
Mission Statement
*****************
To protect the Data and Metadata that comprises an OpenStack-deployed
Application against loss/damage (e.g. backup, replication) by providing a
standard framework of APIs and services that allows vendors to provide plugins
through a unified interface
Open Architecture
"""""""""""""""""
Design for multiple perspectives:
* User: Protect App Deployment
* Configure and manage custom protection plans on the deployed resources
(topology, VMs, volumes, images, …)
* Admin: Define Protectable Resources
* Decide what plugins protect which resources, what is available for the user
* Decide where users can protect their resources
* Vendors: Standard API for protection products
* Create plugins that implement Protection mechanisms for different OpenStack
resources
