OpenStack Summit May 2015 Vancouver

Manila provides an automated, on-demand, and scalable service for delivering shared and distributed file systems all via an open, standardized API developed within the OpenStack effort, but made available for usage independent of what cloud ecosystem is utilized.  For the first time, cloud users can self-provision and manage shared file systems as first-class objects to be leveraged by cloud applications. We thought it might be useful to give some examples of use cases where Manila can fill a critical business gaps in bringing certain workloads to OpenStack clouds and provide a short demo of the key features of the Kilo release of Manila with Netapp clustered Data ONTAP.  

Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of Manila and tangible use cases where it can be leveraged as a key component of an application deployment within an OpenStack cloud.
