Hello, Zorillas!

I would like to share with you a brief summary of the PTG and the Manila forum from last week's OpenInfra summit.

Manila Forum:
   
In the Manila Operator Forum session [0], we showed how the Ceph driver could support clustered NFS. We had feedback from operators in different areas. Many operators in the room were interested in VirtIOFS so they can consume Native CephFS without having to expose the cluster to user VMs/containers. The discussion extended into the Nova Forum session the next day.


PTG:
Open discussion/operator feedback:

• It would be great if we had this bug [1] fixed.
• Ceph Mon IP changes not reflecting on exported shares
• We are targeting the fix for this bug on Bobcat-2
• Interest in share backups:
• CERN is looking for a share backup approach similar to what cinder currently does. We have one blueprint open for it and the implementation is currently going on [2]
• This can likely integrate with a tool they are developing internally: CBACK
• CERN will also provide feedback on the implementation of this feature and help us shape it.
