Speaker
Description
This short talk will give the attendees an update on what Cybera has been doing with storage technologies since the last CS3 conference.
I will quickly highlight three main areas:
-
Cybera recently migrated our OpenStack Block Storage Service (Cinder) from GlusterFS to LVM. I'll talk about the reasons why we did this as well as how this benefits users (spoiler: opt-in high availability as well as opt-in encrypted storage).
-
Speaking of encryption, OpenStack's Object Storage Service (Swift) has recently announced support for encrypted objects at rest. We have plans to implement this.
-
Finally, I will discuss a novel way in which we plan on offering ownCloud to our members and users later this year (maybe even by the time CS3 starts): as an application in the OpenStack Application Catalog.
