As cloud infrastructures grow in scale and complexity, the need for reliable, highly available distributed storage becomes more pressing. The OpenStack and Ceph communities have collaboratively developed an innovative solution: a highly available CephFS NFS service tailored specifically for OpenStack Manila. This novel approach ensures that OpenStack environments can benefit from the scalability and performance of CephFS, enabling the familiarity of Network File Systems (NFS) while maintaining the reliability and continuous availability that enterprise environments demand. In this talk, we will explore the technical underpinnings of this groundbreaking service, designed to meet the unique needs of OpenStack Manila consumers. Attendees will gain insights into the architecture, deployment strategies, and best practices for implementing this solution in their own OpenStack environments. We intend to dive into strategies employed to ensure high availability and resilience. and provide you with configuration best practices tailored to different use cases, from small-scale to large-scale enterprise deployments.
