Hi all, As we continue forward with OpenStack Manila and Kubernetes integration with GlusterFS, we require a simpler method of managing volumes and bricks. We introduce Heketi ( https://github.com/heketi ), a RESTful storage management framework which enables certain storage systems to be easily managed. Heketi poses itself not an abstraction layer, but instead as a framework for developers to enhance their existing storage system management through a plugin interface. Heketi also provides a RESTful interface which enables callers to easily manage the storage system. For GlusterFS, currently we only plan on managing the creation and deletion of volumes in GlusterFS through a simple RESTful interface. Heketi will also manage the brick location and life cycle. Heketi allows users to create volumes with a simple command and not worry about which bricks to use. A simple command to create a 1 TB volume would look like this: POST on http://<server>/volumes, with JSON { "size" : 1000000000 } To delete the volume: DELETE on http://<server>/volumes/<id of volume> * A demo is available https://github.com/heketi/vagrant-heketi , so please try it out and let us know what you think. ** Heketi is still quite young, but the plan is to finish by early September. Please let us know what you think. - Luis _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
