Manila - Creating shared resources (NFS, CephFS)

Manila is an OpenStack project aimed at delivering "Shared File Systems as a Service".

Component-Based Architecture: Enables quick addition of new features
High Availability: Scales to meet demanding workloads
Fault Resilience: Isolated processes prevent cascading failures
Recoverability: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and fix
Open Standards: Serves as a reference implementation for a community-supported API.
