Coraid storage appliances can provide block-level storage to OpenStack instances. Coraid storage appliances use the low-latency ATA-over-Ethernet (ATA) protocol to provide high-bandwidth data transfer between hosts and data on the network.
Once configured for OpenStack, you can:
Create, delete, attach, and detach block storage volumes.
Create, list, and delete volume snapshots.
Create a volume from a snapshot, copy an image to a volume, copy a volume to an image, clone a volume, and get volume statistics.
This document describes how to configure the OpenStack Block Storage Service for use with Coraid storage appliances.
