Features
libStorage is an open source, platform agnostic, storage provisioning and orchestration framework, model, and API. Features include:
- A standardized storage orchestration model and API
- A lightweight, reference client implementation with a minimal dependency footprint
- The ability to embed both the libStorage client and server, creating native application integration opportunities
Operations
libStorage
supports the following operations:
Resource Type | Operation | Description |
---|---|---|
Volume | List / Inspect | Get detailed information about one to many volumes |
Create / Remote | Manage the volume lifecycle | |
Attach / Detach | Provision volumes to a client | |
Mount / Unmount | Make attached volumes ready-to-use, local file systems | |
Snapshot | Coming soon | |
Storage Pool | Coming soon |
Getting Started
Using libStorage can be broken down into several, distinct steps:
- Configuring libStorage
- Understanding the API
- Identifying a production server and client implementation, such as REX-Ray
