August Meetup: Manila - The OpenStack File Share Service

• 5:15pm: Welcome & introductions
• 5:30pm: "Manila - The OpenStack File Share Service" with Sumit Kumar (NetApp)
• 6:30pm: Food sponsored by NetApp!

In this talk, Sumit will provide an overview of Manila, the OpenStack File Share Service. Manila is a community-driven project that presents the management of file shares (e.g. NFS, CIFS) as a core service to OpenStack. Manila currently works with a variety of storage platforms, as well as a reference implementation based on a Linux NFS server.

In this session, we will:

· Introduce the Manila File Share Service

· Provide an overview of Manila, discussing its architecture through use case examples

· Demonstrate an OpenStack deployment with Manila

· ​​Provide details of what is new with the project in the Kilo release

· Discuss upcoming areas of focus for Manila towards graduation

Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of Manila, the use cases it was designed to solve, deployment methodology, what was added to the project in the Kilo release, and the future directions for the project.

Sumit Kumar earned his bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering from Virginia Tech in May 2015. He then joined NetApp's Data Fabric Group as a Technical Marketing Engineer to focus on NetApp's container strategy, and has been involved with OpenStack since. He is very excited about the future and potential of OpenStack, and he looks forward to contributing to the OpenStack community.
