Download as pptx, pdf1 like600 views
The document discusses OpenStack storage services including Cinder (block storage), Swift (object storage), Glance (image storage), and Manila (file storage). For each service, it covers current capabilities and planned features for the upcoming OpenStack Liberty release, such as Cinder adding encrypted volume backups and Manila adding share migration. The document aims to demystify OpenStack storage and provide an overview of its different components and roadmap.
