Manila is an OpenStack project to provide "Shared Filesystems as a service".
What is Manila?
---------------
Manila is the OpenStack Shared Filesystems service for providing Shared
Filesystems as a service. Some of the goals of Manila are to be/have:
* **Component based architecture**: Quickly add new behaviors
* **Highly available**: Scale to very serious workloads

* **Recoverable**: Failures should be easy to diagnose, debug, and rectify
* **Open Standards**: Be a reference implementation for a community-driven api
This documentation is generated by the Sphinx toolkit and lives in the source
tree. Additional draft and project documentation on Manila and other components of OpenStack can
be found on the `OpenStack wiki`_. Cloud administrators, refer to `docs.openstack.org`_.
For end users

.. _`OpenStack wiki`: https://wiki.openstack.org
.. _`docs.openstack.org`: https://docs.openstack.org
As an end user of Manila, you'll use Manila to create a remote file system with
either tools or the API directly:
`python-manilaclient <https://docs.openstack.org/python-manilaclient/latest/>`_,
or by directly using the
`REST API <https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/shared-file-system/>`_.

Using the Manila API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All features of Manila are exposed via a REST API that can be used to build
more complicated logic or automation with Manila. This can be consumed directly
or via various SDKs. The following resources can help you get started consuming
the API directly:
* `Manila API <https://developer.openstack.org/api-ref/shared-file-system/>`_
* :doc:`Manila microversion history </contributor/api_microversion_history>`
For operators
-------------
This section has details for deploying and maintaining Manila services.
Installing Manila
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manila can be configured standalone using the configuration setting
``auth_strategy = noauth``, but in most cases you will want to at least have
the `Keystone <https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/latest/install/>`_ Identity
service and other
`OpenStack services <https://docs.openstack.org/latest/install/>`_ installed.
