Fibre Channel support is one of OpenStack's better kept secrets.  Have you ever wonder why Fibre Channel attached storage was added to OpenStack?  Fibre Channel support was introduced in the Grizzly release by a working group of multiple vendors. Since then, more and more vendors have added Fibre Channel support in their Cinder volume drivers.  Understand how competing companies work together to provide a common solution that works for the community.  What did we have to do to enable Fibre Channel in OpenStack?  Let’s take a look into the history, current status and future plans of Fibre Channel in OpenStack.
