Operational Concerns for Openstack Manila

on YouTube ↗49m

" summary

Manila is an OpenStack shared-files service supporting over 30 storage backends and it does not sit in the data path so client scale follows the storage (Ceph RBD/CephFS) not Manila; operators report opening the storage network exposes monitors so they use NFS gateway (Ganesha) or a virtiofs prototype to proxy mounts. Control-plane work focuses on recoverability: share-manager only active-standby today, user-messages need broader coverage for self-service error fixes, and running services in containers/Kubernetes exposes startup and failover timing gotchas.
