Creating Differentiated Storage Offerings Using Cinder Volume Types
Channel: OpenInfra Foundation
Date: 2014-05-13

Cloud service providers desire to provide differentiated levels of services to attract a variety of application workloads, including mission-critical, performance-sensitive, and best effort applications.

Join Robert Callaway of NetApp to learn how the OpenStack block storage service can be configured to offer multiple levels of storage services to cloud users using volume types, extra specs, and QoS specs. Robert will present real examples of service levels that represent collections of underlying storage capabilities and demonstrate how volume types can be leveraged from both Cinder and Nova to deliver differentiated capabilities to applications running on OpenStack.
