Open Stack

Hi,

this might be a dumb question, is it possible to have a stand-alone Manila 
service that could be used by clients outside of a specific OpenStack 
cloud?  For example, a shared Manila service that VMs in two clouds could 
both use?

I am guessing that there would be two drawbacks to this scenario -- (1) 
users would need two keystone credentials - a keystone credential in the 
cloud hosting their VM, and then a keystone credential that is used with 
the stand-alone Manila service to create a share.  And (2), the shared 
Manila service wouldn't be able to isolate network traffic for a 
particular tenant - all users of the service would share the same network. 
 Do these capture the problems with it?

Thanks,
Jake
