Introduction

This page documents the concept and vision for the shared file system service for OpenStack -- Manila. Manila derived from the Cinder project and provides a canonical storage provisioning control plane in {{OpenStack]] for shared or distributed file systems similarly to the way Cinder provides such a canonical control plane for block storage. The design and implementation of Manila provide extensibility for multiple backends (to support vendor or file system specific nuances / capabilities) but is sufficiently abstract to accommodate any of a variety of shared or distributed file system types.

File-based storage continues to be a thriving market. Diverse applications, from server virtualization to relational or distributed databases to collaborative content creation, can leverage the performance, scalability and simplicity of management associated with file-based systems, and the large ecosystem of supporting software products.

While manila was designed to provide self-service provisioning and access control of file-shares to compute instances in multi-tenant OpenStack clouds, since it serves up storage over the network it can provide file-share infrastructure for clients running in other clouds or for bare-metal or VM hosts that themselves may provide shares for consumption by container workloads.
