ScaleIO plugin aims to provide support for it. +This plugin will deploy a ScaleIO cluster and configure the OpenStack environment +to consume the block storage services from ScaleIO. + +Proposed change +=============== + +Implement a Fuel plugin that will deploy a ScaleIO cluster and configure the +ScaleIO Cinder driver on all Controller and Compute nodes. + +Alternatives +------------ +None + +Data model impact +----------------- + +None + +REST API impact +--------------- + +None + +Upgrade impact +-------------- + +None + +Security impact +--------------- + +None + +Notifications impact +-------------------- + +None + +Other end user impact +--------------------- + +None + +Performance Impact +------------------ + +The ScaleIO storage clusters provide high performance block storage for +OpenStack environments.
