Manila System Architecture
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
The Shared File Systems service is intended to be ran on one or more nodes.
|
|
|
|
Manila uses a sql-based central database that is shared by all manila services in the system. The amount and depth of the data fits into a sql database quite well. For small deployments this seems like an optimal solution. For larger deployments, and especially if security is a concern, manila will be moving towards multiple data stores with some kind of aggregation system.
|
|
|
|
Components
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Below you will a brief explanation of the different components.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
/- ( LDAP )
|
|
[ Auth Manager ] ---
|
|
| \- ( DB )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
[ Web Dashboard ]- manilaclient -[ manila-api ] -- < AMQP > -- [ manila-scheduler ] -- [ manila-share ] -- ( shared filesystem )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
< REST >
|
|
|
|
|
|
* DB: sql database for data storage. Used by all components (LINKS NOT SHOWN)
|
|
* Web Dashboard: external component that talks to the api. Beta extended Horizon available here: https://github.com/NetApp/horizon/tree/manila
|
|
* :term:`manila-api`
|
|
* Auth Manager: component responsible for users/projects/and roles. Can backend to DB or LDAP. This is not a separate binary, but rather a python class that is used by most components in the system.
|
|
* :term:`manila-scheduler`
|
|
* :term:`manila-share`
|
|
|
|
Further Challenges
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
* More efficient share/snapshot size calculation
|
|
* Create a notion of "attached" shares with automation of mount operations
|
|
* Allow admin-created share-servers and share-networks to be used by multiple tenants
|
|
* Support creation of new subnets for share servers (to connect VLANs with VXLAN/GRE/etc)
|
|
* Gateway mediated networking model with NFS-Ganesha
|
|
* Add support for more backends
