Description

RWX Storage for Container Orchestrators with CephFS and Manila - Tom Barron, Red Hat

We'll cover use cases that drive the need for read-write-many (RWX) storage for workloads running in containers orchestrated by Kubernetes, Mesos, Cloud Foundry, etc. and the role of CephFS to meet this need. We'll distinguish among various topologies and business and trust relationships and in light of these discuss where it makes sense to use native CephFS vs CephFS via an NFS gateway, as well as when it is helpful to control these via Manila -- with or without other OpenStack infrastructure -- and when using Manila may not be that helpful. Finally we'll cover current work on CephFS and Manila Container Storage Interface (CSI) plugins and the advantages of CSI over the current generation of in-tree and external cloud storage providers.

About Tom Barron
Red Hat
OpenStack Manila Project Team Leader
I serve as upstream OpenStack Manila Project Team Lead and work for Red Hat where I lead a development team concerned with:

* CephFS integration in Manila and OpenStack
* Manila as supporting service infrastructure for OpenShift/kubernetes and other container orchestrators
* use of Manila in new topologies such as Edge and across clouds

Some talks I have delivered recently:

* Practical CephFS with NFS today using OpenStack Manila (Ceph Day Berlin 2018) [1]
* Manila Project Update (OpenStack Summit Berlin 2018) [2]
* Setting the Compass for Manila RWX Cloud Storage (OpenStack Summit Berlin 2018) [3]
* Distributed File Storage in multi-tenant clouds using CephFS (OpenStack Summit Vancouver 2018) [4]
