[lustre-discuss] Openstack Manila + Lustre?

[Matt Rásó-Barnett]

Hi Andrew,

Have you seen these previous LUG presentations by a couple of sites 
using a number of newer Lustre features and LNET routing to provide 
multi-tenant, private Lustre sub-directory mounts into Openstack 
environments:

Wellcome Sanger Institute:

ETH Zurich:

It's not quite the same approach as what you linked to, and don't touch 
on the Manila aspect, but the aims I think are broadly similar.

It would be really interesting if Manila could be wrangled into spinning 
up and down the necessary VLANs and virtual LNET routers on-demand in 
some manner to make this approach at multi-tenancy more self-service.

This concept is something we are interested in following in Cambridge 
but we haven't started work on trying this yet - so like you I'd be very 
interested in any more stories of places trying this.

Cheers,
Matt
