OpenStack
OpenStack is an open source cloud computing
platform for public and private clouds. A series
of interrelated projects deliver a cloud
infrastructure solution. This guide shows
OpenStack admin users how to create and
manage resources in an OpenStack cloud with
OpenStack client commands.

Cinder - Block Storage

What is Cinder?
Cinder provides an infrastructure for managing
volumes in OpenStack. It was originally a Nova
component called nova-volume, but has
become an independent project since the
Folsom release.

Font: openstack.org

What is Cinder?
Cinder is an OpenStack project to provide
block storage as a service.
It's designed to allow the use of either a
reference implementation (LVM) to present
storage resources to end users that can be
consumed by the OpenStack Compute Project
(Nova).
Font: openstack.org

What is Cinder?
It virtualizes pools of block storage devices and
provides end users with a self service API to
request and consume those resources without
requiring any knowledge of where their storage
is actually deployed or on what type of device.

Volumes, Snapshots, and Backups
The Block Storage service requires some form of back-end storage that the
service is built on. The default implementation is to use LVM on a local volume
group named "cinder-volumes." In addition to the base driver implementation,
the Block Storage service also provides the means to add support for other
storage devices to be utilized such as external Raid Arrays or other storage
appliances. These back-end storage devices may have custom block sizes
when using KVM or QEMU as the hypervisor.

Volumes, Snapshots, and Backups
The Block Storage service can be used by many different cloud computing
consumers or customers (tenants on a shared system), using role-based
access assignments. Roles control the actions that a user is allowed to
perform.
For tenants, quota controls are available to limit:

The number of volumes that can be created.

The number of snapshots that can be created.

The total number of GBs allowed per tenant (shared between snapshots
and volumes).

Volumes, Snapshots, and Backups
The basic resources offered by the Block Storage service are volumes and
snapshots which are derived from volumes and volume backups:
Volumes. Allocated block storage resources that can be attached to
instances as secondary storage or they can be used as the root store to
boot instances.
Snapshots. A read-only point in time copy of a volume. The snapshot can
be created from a volume that is currently in use
Backups. An archived copy of a volume currently stored in OpenStack
Object Storage (swift).

Glance - Image Store

What is Glance?
The Glance project provides a service where users can
upload and discover data assets that are meant to be
used with other services. This currently includes images
and metadata definitions.
Glance image services include discovering, registering,
and retrieving virtual machine images. Glance has a
RESTful API that allows querying of VM image
metadata as well as retrieval of the actual image.

Font: openstack.org

What is Glance?
VM images made available through Glance can be
stored in a variety of locations from simple filesystems
to object-storage systems like the OpenStack Swift
project.

Glance Architecture
glance-api : It accepts Image API calls for
image discovery, image retrieval and image
storage.
glance-registry : it stores, processes and
retrieves metadata about images (size, type,
etc.).
glance database : A database to store the
image metadata.
