Introduction to Manila Shared Filesystem Management Service
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
:term:`Manila` is the File Share service project for OpenStack. To administer the
|
|
OpenStack File Share service, it is helpful to understand a number of concepts
|
|
like share networks, shares, multi-tenancy and back ends that can be configured
|
|
with Manila. When configuring the File Share service, it is required to declare
|
|
at least one back end. Manila can be configured to run in a single-node
|
|
configuration or across multiple nodes. Manila can be configured to provision
|
|
shares from one or more back ends.
|
|
The OpenStack File Share service allows you to offer file-share services to
|
|
users of an OpenStack installation.
