type: service
cycle-highlights:
  - A new share driver has been added to allow provisioning and managing
    NFS shares with a VAST DATA Storage appliance. Users can also take
    point-in-time backups of these shares through snapshots.
  - Users now have the ability to manipulate storage capabilities through
    share metadata. Cloud operators can determine which capabilities
    are updatable; and users are notified about the status of the updates
    through asynchronous user messages.
  - It is now possible to specify pre-created NetApp ONTAP efficiency
    policies through the use of the ``netapp:efficiency_policy`` share
    type extra spec.
  - The ``manila-manage service list`` command can now provide the response
    in json and yaml formats.
  - The NetApp ONTAP driver now supports creating Write Once Read Many
    (WORM) shares through the use of the NetApp storage SnapLock feature.
  - Manila now supports scheduling shares on hosts that are currently
    running and marked as being under maintenance (disabled).
  - When creating access rules with a deletion lock, the corresponding
    shares will also be locked to prevent disconnections.
  - Users can now set and unset metadata on share export locations.
    The behavior is similar to Manila shares. A new configuration option
    named ``admin_only_el_metadata`` was added in order to allow administrators
    to prevent end users to update certain metadata keys.
  - Cloud operators can now refresh share export locations through a
    new API instead of restarting Manila's share manager service. This
    improves the uptime and availability of the cloud.
  - The Shared File Systems service now requires a user's scope to be
    set within the OpenStack Identity service by default. This behavior
    can be turned off, however, it is highly discouraged to do so.
